Overview
About Me
The world is my playground, and the people in it are my friends!
I’ve been a Pilot, a Sailor, a gardener, a student and many other things that have brought adventure to my life. Next big adventures will be Pacific Northwest and a new job in Space Engineering in Colorado Springs!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
It facilitates my travels, and makes them more interesting because of the people we meet. I hope I am able to return the favor for others.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Being the listening ear that gave someone the hope to stay in this world another day, instead of leaving it forever.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can play a little Harmonica, and teach you basic Swing Dancing.
I do enjoy cooking, and will always offer to do the dishes (it is polite custom in my culture).
What I Can Share with Hosts
San diego has been my home for several years, though I am leaving soon. It has wonderful and easily accessible outdoor activities. Primarily the beaches, though also nice hiking trails which are all very pet friendly. There's fantastic gastronomy, you'll definitely get real authentic Mexican food (street tacos :D), and all types of cuisine you can enjoy at the beach! Great weather (except May/June due to the fog), allows for people-to-people activities outside like acro-yoga, dance parties, drum circles. There really is something for everyone.
As I move to Colorado, I look forward to hosting in my country at the base of the Rocky Mountains. Colorado Springs has excellent access to the mountains for skiing in winter and hiking/biking in summer. It is very pet friendly, and the community is very health conscious. The Red Rocks are a must-see , and the views at Pikes Peak are as breathtaking as the clean fresh mountain air.
I'll let you know more about it when I get there!
