ABOUT ME

I've been living in California for the last five years, in between traveling. I spent one year traveling South America doing work exchanges. I am now studying online via Penn State, very slowly working towards my college degree. I enjoy hitchhiking and bus travel, especially to places that I never anticipated visiting.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't give up on your dreams. Keep sleeping.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I did a bit of couchsurfing in India and have hosted people from warmshowers.org (the couchsurfing of the bicycle touring world). Otherwise, my Couchsurfing experience is severely lacking and I hope to fix that.

Interests

I'm interested in traveling (who isn't?), reading about the latest health fads, taking pictures (I wouldn't call it photography), surfing.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love anything written by Tom Robbins and Joseph Campbell
The Kite Runner, The Poisonwood Bible
Favorite movies are Pulp Fiction, The Secret Garden, Slumdog Millionaire, Fargo.... other than those, my attention span is too short to finish a movie.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've studied abroad in Spain and Costa Rica, bussed from Colombia to Ushuaia, Argentina. I hitchhiked the length of Chile and rode my bike from Managua, Nicaragua to Panama City, Panama.
I've done lots of work exchanges, including sweeping, hostels, building goat fences, picking strawberries on Easter Island, and selling chocolate.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach English and Spanish, share stories (and I love to hear them as well), help with your Wordpress site. I love to take pictures, especially of people, so I'll be your personal photographer. I'm very good at cooking rice.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share experiences, stories, philosophies, empathy, and communication.
