I consider myself a Wizard: a guardian of wisdom. My adventurers are one of encompassing the world: natural and cultural. I spend much of my time out in the woods, reveling in the silence of nature, minimizing my livelihood.
When I'm not out of civility, I'm usually looking for culinary adventures to include drinks. I would call myself a connoisseur, but look more in the "casual" dining niche. I don't mind spending ALL my spare cash on a high-quality and sophisticated experiences though ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I plan to travel and would like to keep open my options for lodging. Also, finding other fellow travelers and hosts in places that know their way around the areas and environments I'd be in would be greatly appreciated.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like conversation more than anything; I listen to a lot of political podcasts. I can't say I've read much recreationally, nor do I or have I watched a lot.
My style of music is definitely between Classic Heavy Metal and Electronic Dance Music (EDM), not much in between, but I'm very open to enjoying a variety.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm a survivor, of sorts. I like to go to uninhabited places and build small shelters or living areas. I definitely have a strong affinity for nature, and primitive technology. I think being a woodsman is one amazing thing about me.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like my job as a Teacher, as learning is part of my career. I love to learn about cultures and customs, language and knowledges. I have always wanted to expand my vocabulary and linguistic repertoire; I live in New Mexico and have a degree in "Sociology of New Mexico" (pretty niche), so I'd like to expand upon that knowledge, and finally learn Spanish that can leave the kitchen.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm quite handy in the kitchen and the yard, and definitely like having manual tasks to keep me busy. If you speak a language other than English, I'm very inspired to learn.
