Such a vague little box, this one...

I moved a lot as a kid, but mostly grew up in Mexico. I love the mountains and all the activities they make possible, so I'll likely stay here a while.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love traveling and travelers, so the idea of providing a way for people to travel cheaper while meeting new people appeals to me!

Music, Movies, and Books

Steinbeck and Dostoyevsky might be my favorite authors. I especially enjoyed Cannery Row and The Idiot.
Too much good music out there. Pretty Lights, Animal Collective, Caribou, DeVotchKa, Rodrigo y Gabriela, First Aid Kit, The Beatles, Bob Dylan, Townes Van Zandt, Tom Waits, The Rolling Stones, Ella Fitzgerald, The Black Keys, Joanna Newsom, Tallest Man On Earth, Josh Garrels, Wilco, Sufjan Stevens, Jack White, Radiohead, Asaf Avidan, Sigur Ros, etc... are some musicians I'd see in concert if I could!
Wes Anderson, Guy Ritchie, Quentin Tarantino, Tim Burton and Martin Scorsese generally make movies I like.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Interpreted for a medical brigade when I was 15 and saw more than I ever wanted.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you're learning any Spanish you can practice on me. And if you speak Dutch, I'm trying to learn!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Spanish. Snake stories, scar stories, nurse stories (especially the OR ones are fun).
