About Me

I love having adventures and learning!! Adventures hiking in nature, or going out for a walk to explore some new nook of the neighborhood. I love learning new languages and meeting new people and cultures, as well as trying new foods and old favorite foods. Did I mention I love food?

At the moment, I spend my weekdays working for an Industrial equipment manufacturer. Designing mobile equipment can be a challenge, but it is also very rewarding to get to see the fruits my labor.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm heading down the coast from Canada to California, where my Brother lives, in the beginning of December. I thought I'd not only try to find places to stay at along the way, but also see if anyone else is heading the same direction and could use a ride. Either way, It would be awesome to meet people and swap stories and jokes.

Interests

When I'm not working, I'm playing guitar, learning Korean, practicing photography, and enjoying the out-doors. Ask me about my other hobbies - I have more than a few!

  • photography
  • dining
  • socializing
  • music
  • guitar
  • hiking
  • languages

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I taught english to high school students on Santa Cruz Island (part of the Galapagos Archipelago) for 10 months!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Besides my happy and friendly attitude :)... I could relax my hosts with soft guitar music and, if they have time, I can offer portraits. With half an hour, we could do a little photo shoot with you and your loved ones.

Countries I’ve Lived In

Canada, Ecuador, Nicaragua, United States
