CURRENT MISSION

I am a committed uncompromising rock climber and cookbook author, a wandering vagabond globe trotter, a seeker of the unknown, a wisher and lover and dreamer.

ABOUT ME

As I travel the world in search for new adventures with an undeniable lust for life and a commitment to care for mother nature, I am greeted by new faces and strange places around every corner. Most importantly, I live life passionately as a sponge, soaking up the details like a slow snail.

PHILOSOPHY

Respira. Sea lo que sea.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I will share unconditionally. Travelers have stories. I like to listen and share my own.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Traveling around the world is a blessing. I have learned so much from all those couches I have slept on and the cars and trucks I have driven in by way of hitch-hiking. Thanks.

Interests

The list could be endless since I haven't yet explored the nth of my possible interests. However, at this stage in my life my current passions lean towards rock climbing, writing cookbooks, hiking, camping, writing poetry, doing yoga, taking Photos, playing the Ukulele, loving, laughing, smiling, chatting with great people, speaking Spanish, and analyzing human nature among others
