About Me

I love to travel, I'm very open minded, I like meeting new people and being immersed in foreign cultures and hearing people's life stories.

I just moved to Japan so don't have a stable place set up yet to host but I'm looking for friends in Tokyo and or language exchange partners.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Es como un atajo para conocer la gente local y tener una experiencia cultural más auténtica. Pero más que todo es divertido y hay un montón de gente super chévere que utilizan esta comunidad.

Well it's a great way to meet local people and have a more genuine cultural experience but mainly just because it's really fun and you can easily meet lots of free spirited characters.

Subí Mt Roraima en Venezuela.... fue una semana caminando y es como estar en el cielo.
Fly an ultralight aircraft, it's like a motorbike in the sky.

Teach, Learn, Share

Te puedo enseñar inglés y español y siempre estoy a favor de un intercambio de idiomas.
Mi gran pasión ahora es la música. Toco muchos intrumentos: la guitarra, Charango, cuatro, didgeridoo, asalato y un poco de trompeta y clarinete. Me encanta enseñar y aprender cualquier tipo de musica.

I'm really passionate about playing music I can teach you to play guitar, Didge and a little of heaps of other instruments. I used to teach English, my Spanish is decent and I just started learning Japanese. I'm always up for a language exchange.

Massage, yoga and meditation are important to me as I've been dealing with chronic pain for a few years and these all really help so I'm always keen to learn more about these and teach what I've learnt.
