Currently living in Chicago, and been traveling as much as I can, seeking a good balance of home and exploration. I'm a software engineer for work, but enjoy stepping away from the digital world as much as I can, seeking a balance between digital and analog.

Contemplative, love to hear others' thoughts on the world and their experience in it. Enjoy quirky thoughtful humans and sharing a good laugh.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

Since joining in 2009, I've met wonderful people on CS, and continue some of those friendships today. The past few years, I've been a bit distracted by work and havent had a chance to participate. But would love to jump back in and remember just how amazing this community can be.

Intereses

I like to spend my time playing guitar, reading, smashing the patriarchy, pondering things like digital colonialism/gentrification/urbanization, riding my bike, and taking photos. And food; it deserves its own sentence.

Música, películas y libros

Movies: any documentary, sci-fi, queer web series, cheesy 90s American action films

Music: Oof, all of it.

Books: A lot of non-fiction (been really into history of DC lately) and adventure -fantasy fiction. Also, love a good quote. Some of my favorites were born from the mind-wombs of Anais Nin, Rumi, Toni Morrison

Algo increíble que he hecho

Kayaked in shallow waters with sea lions, while munching on one of the most amazing bags of trail mix. Also, danced in a bona fide Soul Train line, a dream come true.
