About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Gozar de la naturaleza de Sudamérica!

ABOUT ME

I was born and raised on the tranquil plains of Kansas, where the tallest buildings are water towers and church steeples. Later, I went to school at John Brown University in Arkansas, to study Illustration and Community Development.After being internationally deprived my whole life, I moved to Spain to teach English after college. That experience opened many doors to traveling opportunities.Post-Spain I moved to Guatemala City for a year and worked in my career field, Graphic Design. I left Guate to travel through South America.I'm an introspective, peaceful individual. I enjoy learning about cultures and customs.

PHILOSOPHY

My beliefs and personal philosophy are a work in progress, and they always will be.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I haven't settled down, so I don't have a couch to offer, but one day I'd love to reciprocate.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Some hosts want to take you around and show you their city, others give you the keys to their home and give you the freedom to explore for yourself. I welcome both types of Couchsurfing.

However, the all-time best CS experience I have had was sailing and sleeping on a sailboat from Hondarribia to San Sebastian with CS Borja—there couldn't be a cooler dude.
