Estou no Brasil!!

Estou gostando muito de a música e cultura nesse país. Gosto muito de samba, especialmente o samba afro e reggae.

Amo de couchsurfing porque eu conheço gente autêntica que é muita conhecida e orgulhosa de suas lares. Vamos lá!

Me encanta explorar, experimentar con cosas nuevas, y conocer gente nueva. Me encanta suramerica, estoy muy emocionado de viajar de Nuevo.

Estoy aprendiendo Español todavía, por lo que quiero conocer a gente de sudamerica para seguir practicando mi español y tener una experiencia más auténtica.

Por dos años he trabajado como un guía e instructor en dos islas diferentes en la costa oeste de los Estados Unidos. Conduje viajes con niños para practicar esnorkel, kayak, y realizar caminatas en las montañas. También llevé a familias a viajes con campamentos de varios días y hasta vimos orcas muchas veces!!

Disfruto de aventuras fuera mucho, y mientras esté en suramerica deseo ir a excursiones a montañas y mar.

Yo toco tambores, he tocado en grupos de Afro-Cuba, Oeste Africana, y Calypso. Me encantaría encontrar más gente para tocar música cuando esté viajando!

I love to explore, experience new things and meet new people. I studied plants and biology in college, and I work as a guide and teacher leading groups of kids on Catalina Island while sharing my love and curiosity for the wonders of life on this planet. I am currently learning Spanish and am headed to Ecuador and Peru, December 2018 - February 2019

I'm all about getting out into the elements and experiencing what this wild blue orb is all about.

I am a percussionist and have played in traditional Brazilian, Afro-Cuban, and West-African drum ensembles. I've also played in a Caribbean style steel pan band!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am interested in meeting locals and travelers, exchanging culture, and learning about the backwoods, backroads, and holes in the wall where I travel.
