About Me

I love trying new things and traveling, but my real passion is in other people -- meeting and getting to know new friends and keeping in contact with old friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Well, you never know where your new friends are going to come from, so why not try here? I have found that traveling with others is more fun (at least for me) than traveling by myself, and what better way to travel with others than Couchsurfing? Whether it be a place to sleep or someone to get a drink with, this seems like a pretty cool place to meet others.

Interests

Listening to music and discovering new music with others
Watching movies, especially dramas, comedies, or intense documentaries
Traveling whenever I have the opportunity
Anything outdoors. Hiking, camping, stargazing, going to the river
Getting book recommendations and reading old favorites

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: I'm a big fan of all kinds of movies, especially dramas, comedies, and documentaries

Music: I'm a big fan of Motown, reggaeton, bachata, salsa, cumbia, fado, and pop hits of the 2000s

Books: My favorite genre of books is fantasy, but I can get into a lot of things fiction. I'm always open to a good suggestion of any genre though
