Former bear biologist and river guide, currently training to be a bodyworker, easy-going, LOVE to make friends and hear their stories, low-maintenance, considerate, always seeing the positive side of a situation

I am a good listener and can share interesting stories. I enjoy sarcastic people and having a good laugh. I am always open to trying new things and gaining new experiences as well as meeting new people.

I LOVE Latin dancing!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy learning about other cultures and connecting with locals. I'd rather see the city from a local's point of view and make new friends in the process! I haven't been home long enough to host more than two surfers but am looking forward to returning the favor once I can!

Philosophy:

Live simply so that others may simply live.

What you waste today, you'll want tomorrow.

No dejes para mañana lo que puedes hacer hoy.
