About Me

CURRENT MISSION
Going to Denmark for the Tønder Festival in August! Living outside of Boston, working at a community organization and studying affordable housing and solidarity economics at Tufts University.

ABOUT ME
I am a 29 year old MA student, a musician, outdoor enthusiast, good time haver. Live music, camping, exploring, getting lost.

PHILOSOPHY

its complicated. trying to absorb as much information as possible about the entire world, it can be overwhelming. on the day to day level, however, i try not to take things too seriously, try to be friendly to everybody.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have couchsurfed a few times while traveling, with varying degrees of success. I did a lot of couch surfing during an 11 month backpacking trip through much of South America. I would like to host now that I am living in the Boston area.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A few good experiences so far, but nothing major. always looking forward to the next one though. hosted a few people recently and its been going really great.

Interests

music(folk, americana, ooooold folk, blues, country, electronica, all kinds of indie, punk, some 90s rock, the occasional pop song, always looking for more), movies, philosophy, beer, science, the environment, the news, history, politics. Jokes, especially in spanish. Always learning.
