About Me

CURRENT MISSION

1 Enjoy. 2 Learn. 3 Grow. Repeat steps 1-3.

ABOUT ME

I'm a pretty happy life-loving individual who just wants to enjoy each moment for what it is and learn from as many experiences as I can fit into my life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've not been on the couchsurfing network for years, but I'm glad to be back and I am hoping to host (while I'm somewhat rooted) and couchsurf myself in the coming years.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love almost all genres of music, especially anything instrumental, however. I've been reading some great books recently, most of them non-fiction about places in the world I know little about. One that really stood out for me was "Something Fierce" by Carmen Aguirre. Another is "Half of a Yellow Sun" by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie (actually a fiction, but about the Biafran war).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spent 3 months in an isolated northern field camp (James Bay) learning all the native species of plant, bird, mammal, fish, fungus... etc.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a few things about the natural world, a few things about cooking and a bit of guitar-playing. I would love to learn anything musical, culinary, or about the sociopolitics of any part of the world. Sharing ideas and good times is what I'm always hoping for.

Countries I’ve Visited

Chile, Colombia, Japan, Mexico, Thailand

Countries I’ve Lived In

Argentina, Canada, Nicaragua
