I've been a full-time resident in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico for the past 8 years doing some volunteer work. I'm currently exploring Texas and meeting some amazing people too! I enjoy good food and conversation, and hope to share both with many new friends along the way!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here to host and travel, make new friends, learn, share, and live life to the fullest... Carpe diem!

Interests

I'm a photographer/creative professional by trade, and have had many adventures in my life. I enjoy philosophy, the arts, travel, meeting people, the diversity of different cultures, learning new languages, making photos, friends, music, and hiking in nature... Love National Parks!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love music, it's a big part of me, especially the Blues, but there's very few genres that I don't care for. Recently I've been listening to great music from Texas, including Chris Stapleton, The Steeldrivers, Junior Brown, Marty Robbins, and more. The same goes for motion pictures, they can range from entertaining, to inspiring and life-changing. I enjoy most, but try to stay away from the dark, gory, slasher type stuff. Recently, I enjoyed reading "John", written by his first wife, Cynthia Lennon, and I always get inspired by, and highly recommend reading the writings of Marcus Aurelius to everyone!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Helped form a non profit children's home in Mexico... where I also wrestled some bulls!

Teach, Learn, Share

My Spanish is sufficient, and getting better all the time. I'll be learning some Italian and French soon too, and love the cutting edge language technology that's available these days. I'm really good with computers, software, and most things technical, and I'm also very creative. I enjoy preparing and sharing gourmet meals, singing, playing harmonica, and a little guitar, writing, photography, and graphic arts. I can help you build a website, and teach you how to maintain it too. Having built a successful small business, I can offer guidance on wearing all those hats as well. Business plans, Branding, Marketing, Promotion, Sales, and Accounting using QuickBooks.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am pretty good in the kitchen, and can cook you delicious meals, or teach you some photography, harmonica, English or Spanish, build a website, business, or help with any of your personal projects/needs in or around your home.
