CURRENT MISSION

Discovering my hometown of San Diego, Preparing for a writerly journey to Portugal

ABOUT ME

I am a writer by vocation, a teacher of English by training. I lived in Korea for five years, hung out in the northern part of South America off and on for the past year and half and I'm now kicking around in San Diego for a while before I go to Portugal and then back to South America to teach English again.

I like to chat and ask questions and once we're comfortable, joke around. Sometimes I'm silly. I make no promises, though.

PHILOSOPHY

Living and traveling in Asia has made me a lot less attached to things being a certain way, but I do like the order of it sometimes! I try not to worry too much. If it's meant to be, it will be.

Vivir y viajar por Asia me ha hecho más imparcial de una forma particular. A veces echo de menos el orden de Asia, pero no me preocupo mucho. Si será, va a ser.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've tried to couchsurf but without much success. I prefer to go to meetings and do language exchanges. Plus, I can give advice about the countries that I've visited!

He tratado couchsurf como huésped, pero sin mucho éxito. Perfiero ir a reuniones y hacer intercambios de idiomas. Además, puedo dar consejos y contar experiencias sobre los paises que he visitado.
