Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PLAN TO PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I plan on using couchsurfing quite a bit while in Latin America & Spain, as a way getting to know other areas of the countries where I will be teaching and orienting myself with the people. My teaching jobs probably won't pay very much, making couch-surfing an economic necessity of sorts as well if I want to explore anywhere outside the city or town where I'm gonna be living.

Interests

HOBBIES & INTERESTS

My biggest obsession in life is Ultimate frisbee. I played for five years in college/university (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epx3KyAUUjo ... that's me they interview first!) and then coached for several more years after graduating

My other obsession in life is craft beer. I’ve been to well over 60 different craft beer bars & restaurants in Madrid in my 7 years living here. Most of my travels in Europe have also been beer-related, & two of my long-term goals in life are to become a beer sommellier & start a Madrid Craft Beer youtube channel.

Tertiary interests of mine are politics & the Spanish language. Especially on the topic of politics, I can talk for hours & hours.

Music, Movies, and Books

Good Will Hunting, Motorcycle Diaries, A River Runs Through It

I don't watch (or for that matter, even have a) TV. Game of Thrones is the shit though, and I'll usually invite myself over to a friend's house to watch it. I also love watching almost every video Vice puts up on their various youtube channels...

Unfortunately I don't read books. I do, however, spend a ton of time reading about news and politics online.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have no problem buying my host a drink or two if he/she wants to go out somewhere..
