I'm a very laid back guy. Enjoy the simple pleasures in life but also going out and painting the town red.

Love taking time to learn about the local culture and history of places I'm visiting. I'm a language nerd and have studied over 10 in one way or another.
Enjoy talking about sociolinguistics, cultures, food, and beer =)

On a mission to see the world and meet people from all over!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Discover the world through locals and CS. Help out CSers here in ABQ as best I can, in the hopes that someone else will do the same for me when I find myself elsewhere =)

Interests

I'm a person of simple pleasures. I'm happy just going to a park across town to have a picnic or hiking up the mountain side in time to see the sunset.
I like to enjoy the natural beauty of a landscape whether by hiking, driving around, taking pictures, picnicking, riding the train, etc. Fishing, camping, and barbecuing too.
However, I rarely go to malls but I love hitting up a good brewery/bar and a club sometimes.
