ABOUT ME

I woke up one day and decided to leave the country. Now that I'm older, travel plans have become more calculated. Part of the joy of traveling comes from the daily challenges that arise. The other part is meeting unforgettable people. Some people collect antiques, or records. I collect experiences. I wish I could eat myself around the world. I love food, I love cooking. I also have a bizarre affinity for moss, liverwort, and lichen.

PHILOSOPHY

Dream big. Expect more. Never settle. Slow down.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm new to this. I hope to someday meet many amazing people, and drink tea with them in my dining room, listen to old records, and exchange stories.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None, but I hope my future is full of positive experiences. I'm excited to meet new people, and create connections with those that I host and those that host me.

Algo increíble que he hecho

Machu Picchu is a Peruvian playground. My train ran over a cow in Argentina. They all started chanting "asado asado." I witnessed a student button his pants for the first time. This was a HUGE struggle for my student, three years in the making. Basically, everyday working with kids with disabilities is amazing!

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I feel that it is unfair to summarize the kind of people I enjoy. Experience has shown that the most unlikely people may teach you something. Lessons can be learned from experienced travelers or cab drivers. In fact, I've actually learned some really profound life lessons from cab drivers. They should get paid more.
