About Me

Nothing too complicated, just to travel as much as possible and take advantage of my time in Europe and Spain. Maybe pet some dogs along the way.

I like the one quote from a poet that goes something like "I know enough to know I don´t know much" I´m starting to believe more and more that an honest conversation goes a really long way. I lived in Spain working as a English language assistant, other than Mexico it was my first real major trip major trip outside of the U.S. and I want to expand that in the next few years. I know its probably going to sound corny but I feel really awake and alive and present.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's been a while since I was on this. I lived in Spain for a while and until recently haven't travaled much. This trip that is coming up to NYC is the first big thing I have done in that regard. So in that regard I am on here trying to find a host but I would like to be a part of the community again as I have come into a comfortable living situation recently. We'll see.

Interests

Eating and drinking. Meeting people and talking about stuff. Traveling and walking and looking at everything. Reading and movies. Just being outside and enjoying.

Music, Movies, and Books

I want to read more Persian and Irani lit and watch more of the film coming from there. My favorite films at the moment are Korean and Chinese and I love the director Wong Kar Wai-Chungking Express..could watch it all day everyday. But I won´t because it would probably ruin the movie for me..

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Going and living in Spain is pretty up there. It was a beautiful terrifying amazing experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am always learning and refining my Spanish. In my recent trips to Mexico and Spain I have picked up a thing or two.
