About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To learn from you, oh couch surfer!

ABOUT ME

I have two legs, two arms, and one brain. I love a great conversation. I believe there is nothing better than a good friend. I love to travel and share in the human experience.

PHILOSOPHY

"Your life on Earth will be, as always, the interval between two significant glances in a mundane mirror"
-F. Scott Fitzgerald

"If you can't get rid of the skeleton in your closet, you best teach it to dance"
-Bernard Shaw

"My life, I mean...most of it doesn't add up to much that I could relate as a way of life that you'd approve of...I'd like to be able to tell you why, but I don't really...I mean, I move around a lot because things tend to get bad when I stay..."
-5 Easy Pieces

"Prefiero morir de pie que vivir arrodillado"
-Zapata

"How strange it is to be anything at all"
-Neutral Milk Hotel

Come to know as many people as I can that help me find the person I want to become. So I guess in a nut shell, self realization.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I decided to participate in couch surfing when I back packed through Uruguay. It seemed to me as a win win situation: I can inexpensively lodge in many places and also be able to interact with locals. Afterward, I became a host in my hometown of Charleston, South Carolina. It's a joy showing people around the Holy City.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

All of my experiences with couch surfing have been amazing and I hope to meet even more incredible people that are just as eager to explore this huge world we all inhabit as I am.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Living in Chile changed my life. It completely changed my paradigm, my reality. Growing up.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am always up for good conversation. Discovering how others interpret this 3D world from different angles that are not exposed to me help complete my understanding of life. I can learn from everyone.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A good conversation. Genuine interest in my host's community and culture. I can share my experiences. Cigarettes and either beer or wine.

Argentina, Brazil, Ecuador, El Salvador, France, Guatemala, Honduras, Ireland, Mexico, Peru, Spain, United Kingdom, United States
