Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Given my current housing, I'm only a surfer who's just getting started.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed mostly with friends but I've ventured off and got to enjoy some good times and nice people in Mexico City in 2012.

Interests

My love is the outdoors. There's something very pleasing about being able to get somewhere on your own steam. The triad of locomotion for me is: Running, Cycling, & Swimming.

• running
• outdoor activities
• cycling
• kayaking
• scuba diving
• languages

Music, Movies, and Books

Book: Since I teach Spanish Literature, I could make my entire profile about this category so I shall spare you. However here’s a short list of authors I love to read and reread:

In Spanish - Lope de Vega, Miguel de Unamuno, Carlos Fuentes, & Isabel Allende

In English - Mark Twain, William Faulkner, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, & J.R.R. Tolkien

In French - Jules Verne, Émile Zola, Jean-Paul Sartre, & Albert Camus

In Others - Marjane Satrapi, Jostein Gaarder, & Patrick Süskind

Movies: Pop-culture Movies: Avitar, Intouchables, 007, Amores Perros, Les Poupees Russes - - Hipster Movies: Moonrise Kingdom, Le Fabuleux destain d’Amélie Poulain, The Big Lebowski, Shaun of the Dead, The Triplets of Belleville, Paris Je T'Aime, Spirited Away - - Classics Movies: Seven Samuri, Quest for the Holy Grail, Roman Holiday. It just depends . . .

Music: It's all about the people and the vibe. From Bob Marley to Jacques Brel; From Panteón Rococó to Tchaikovsky; From Cheb Mami to Mahive (Kal Ho Na HO) . . . it just depends on the energy flowing at the time.

Teach, Learn, Share

I teach languages and love to share this give with others.
