Hi e Hola!

I'm Ari, a young at heart 46 year old from a teeny tiny place in British Columbia Canada that you've never heard of before.

I'm a world traveler, dog lover, house builder, mountain biker, skier, kiteboarder, lover of food and cooking, and a lover of Life and Spirit.

We're all connected and in my opinion we've all been through this thing we call life many more times than we know... Which is one of the reasons why most of us Love connecting with other people!

I'm very lucky and grateful to able to enjoy a wonderful lifestyle of working hard in the spring summer and fall to take my winters off away from the cold & the snow for travel and adventure.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

After 5 winters in Baja van-life and campground living it was time to get out of my comfort zone and explore the Mexican Mainland & learn more Spanish than “Mas tacos por favor!”

Mi Espanol es muy malo, similar de una loco vaca, pero es mucho chistoso y divertido habla con mi!

What better way to learn than to spend time with new friends helping each other learn our languages?

Let's cook some food together and I'll help you with your English, you can help me with my Spanish!
