I'm an aspiring writer, compiling stories and experiences as I travel around South America for the next couple months. My plan is to visit Bolivia, Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, and Colombia before flying back to the U.S to start a new chapter of my life working as a "Destination Expert" for South American Expeditions, the largest luxury tour company in South America. I spent the last five months in Ecuador, and now I´m volunteering at a hotel in the Sacred Valley of Peru, enjoying life very much. I'm pretty chill, mostly-introverted, obsessed with soccer (futbol), and 4/20 friendly. I dislike hard drugs and arrogant, ignorant, close-minded people. I'm a huge sports fan (Dawgs, Hokies, Braves, FC Barcelona, Manchester United) and I much prefer a night of contemplating the meaning of Life to one spent in a loud, crowded, expensive bar or club. I respect privacy, enjoy washing dishes, and love hearing/telling stories. I don't need much to be happy. I want to be your friend.
