About Me

I'm a fan of drinking and board games, lazy dogs, dawn hikes, overeating. If drunk enough, I can play the guitar and/or dance. I'm living in Mexico City right now, and by far the hardest part for me is the lack of nature, so if I'm traveling, I want to see some goddamned greenery.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For the people, clearly. I've had good luck traveling with hostels and Airbnb, but I've made all of my best personal connections through couchsurfing.

Interests

Typical couchsurfing stuff. Conservation Biology, dancing salsa badly, nature (camping, hiking, etc), reading the occasional novel, taking too many photos.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

¡Aprendí español! Pues, más o menos. Todavía me falta muchísimo, pero bueno. He estado estudiando en una escuela de lenguas hace 8 meses, y ahora siento un poquito más bien preparado para explorar México.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to adventure, eat, play music, trade stories. Learning happens in there somewhere.
