Back in America and looking south. With the new year, I have taken on learning Spanish, and plan to get to know my Latin neighbors down south.

As for my past, I am culture explorer. Going out, talking to locals, seeing how people live, think and have fun is why I travel. I have been to over 16 different countries.

I enjoy everything from having a drink, to going for a hike. I am always looking to try something new.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Well, I met a friend in Prague in the summer of 2010, who told me about Couchsurfing. I started using couchsurfing to meet people in the cities I travelled to and occasionally find a host.
