I recently graduated from university with history and Spanish and am currently traveling all over South America for the next 6-8 months. I’m super easy going and would love to improve my Spanish while exploring and making the most of my time on this side of the world! I’m super tall (2m) and this tends to be the topic of quite a bit of conversation between me and the people I meet.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

While I enjoy staying at hostels and experiencing the more touristy side of travel, I’m interested in experiencing the culture of those around me. I would also like to improve my Spanish and gain more fluency, as my degree gives me the fundamentals of language, it lacks the vocabulary and slang of daily life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I slept in a treehouse in the jungles of Laos with gibbons. The only way in and out was by zip line and the place was a couple hundred feet in the canopy.
