Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To learn, which I'm good at. To be patient, which I'm getting better at. Growing up, which I'm bad at and proud of it.
ABOUT ME
I love music, reading, adventures, movies, learning new things, staying active, bad jokes, laughing at my own jokes and meeting new people. I live in Seattle, Washington where I am studying a doctoral degree in Orchestral Conducting. Previously, I lived for nine years in Culiacan, Sinaloa, Mexico where I was an oboist in a professional orchestra and the conductor of a youth orchestra and choir.
PHILOSOPHY
I believe that what comes around goes around so I try to be good to others.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
My good friends traveled extensively in Europe as well as a long road trip in the US. They even stayed at my place in Boulder, CO for a couple of weeks on their trip even though I wasn't a member of CS at the time. Without CS they would not have had some of the best travel experiences that they did. I hope to use CS as a way to explore and meet new people. I previously lived in Culiacán, Sinaloa Mexico for nine years where I was not using CS often. I'm currently in Seattle, WA.
Interests
Anything that seems worth my time. I am always looking for something new and interesting.
- movies
- reading
- traveling
- music
Music, Movies, and Books
There are too many movies I like to name but here are just a couple that I really like. Coco, The Big Lebowski, Black Hawk Down, Finding Nemo, Pulp Fiction, A Mighty Wind, Best in Show, Walk Hard, etc, etc...
Music is another impossible task to narrow down. I am a classical musician and I really enjoy the music of Bach and Beethoven and tons of other great composers. I'm always looking for new music and new sounds.
When I have time I love to read. I've enjoyed everything I've read of Bill Bryson including A Walk in the Woods and Short History of Nearly Everything. Besides that I enjoyed White Tiger, In Cold Blood, Evening in The Palace of Reason, Killers of the Flower Moon and the Repairman Jack novels to name a few.
Teach, Learn, Share
I love teaching music and I love learning new things. I love when people cook for me and I want to learn a new language.
