ABOUT ME

I feel like I’m going though a time in my life of self-discovery, where I’m trying to figure out where I fit into this world. In the past year I quit the two jobs I had in my hometown to spend sometime in Oaxaca, Mexico volunteering, and now traveling to Spain to study Spanish. It’s been an enlightening experience, because I’ve realized that my happiness doesn’t come from a stable job and money, but through experiences, meeting new people, and learning.

PHILOSOPHY

Live in the moment.

Vivir en el momento.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I’ve discovered couchsurfing as great way to meet very fascinating people with the similar interest in sharing and learning about each others' cultures and life experiences.

Descubrí que couchsurfing es una manera fantástica para conocer a personas interesantes. Conocí a mucha gente como yo que interesan a aprender y compartir nuevas culturas y experiencias.

Interests

I absolutely love flamenco dancing. I discovered it 3 years ago, and it has become my obsession ever since.
Not having a TV while living in Oaxaca, I've discovered my obsession for watching old episodes of South Park on ComedyCentral.com.
I really enjoy sculpture and writing, but lately I seem to be lacking the time and/or motivation to take it as seriously as I used to.

Me encanta flamenco. Lo descubrí hace 3 años, y se volvió en mi obsesión desde este momento.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Exploring a cave in the Mixteca with a friend I met in Oaxaca. We went in with a lit branch, and had to wade through a thigh-deep pool of water to get inside. It was pitch black and we heard bats all around us. The fire that we used to light our way couldn’t even give us an idea of how large the cave was. It was definitely one of the most amazing experiences of my life.

Con una amiga que conocí en Oaxaca, exploremos una cueva en la Mixteca. Fuimos con un ocote encendido, y nos metimos en agua que llegaba hasta los muslos. Fue tan oscura que no pedíamos ver nada, y escuchábamos murciélagos alrededor de nosotros. El fuego que usemos para ver no pudimos darnos una idea en tan grande fue la cueva. Definitivamente, me impresionó muchísimo.
