CURRENT MISSION Kayaking er'ry day ABOUT ME All about me? Um.. Lets have a cup of coffee! I guess I could say "I love to travel" as much as fellow couch surfers should, I studied tourism for my undergrad degree. I think what makes me a unique CS host is that I am a host-host, I try to look out for my friends and fellow CS as much as I can, whether picking them up from the airport, to giving up my queen bed and taking the couch, or treating them to diner at my favorite place. I do what I can, above and beyond to be a memorable host. When I travel, I much rather spend a month in one place than a few days in several cities. I rather see grafitti on the walls than pay for a museum. I collect memories, not pictures. I try to walk the walk, and try to talk the talk. I send post cards rather than buy souvenirs. I loooove gastronomical tourism and have found the trifecta "bueno, bonito, y barato" to most often take place on the street corners. I'm loud, messy, sometimes irresponsibly fun. PHILOSOPHY karma- the love you make is equal to the love you take slow travel. and enjoy the little things, and don't let your blood presure rise over the things that trully don't matter. In 5 years will you remember the small things or the things that truly matter?
