I am very open minded and down to earth. I am super adaptable and get along with just about everybody. I am definitely a people person and love listening and talking to others. I like new experiences and trying new things. I do not do well with everyday routines and like to have some change every now and then. Patient, friendly, responsible, and caring.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I stayed with several hosts on a long motorcycle trip in summer of 2011 and every one of my hosts were interesting and amazing in their own way. Since then I've hosted quite a few individuals and it's kind of like a little mini vacation in your own town. I absolutely love it and spread the word whenever I can. I love to meet new surfers/hosts and to me it's the only way to travel.

En 2011, yo tomé una aventura en la costa del Pacifico en mi motocicleta y me quedé con algunos hospedajes. Todas las personas son muy interesantes y diferentes en sus maneras especiales. Desde ese tiempo, muchas personas del algunos partes del mundo se han quedado conmigo. Es como un mini vacación en mi ciudad. Me encantan las experiencias y yo quiero difundir la palabra de los beneficios sobre Couchsurfing. Me gusta conocer nuevas personas y en mi opinión es la única manera a viajar.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Everybody I have stayed with has just been very respectful and amazing. I have learned so much from other hosts and have been able to share some great experiences. I have learned something from everyone that I have stayed with and from now on, whenever I travel, I will definitely look to couchsurf.

Music, Movies, and Books

My music tastes vary throughout the year which include the 80's, rap, banda, alternative, classic rock, a little bit of country, etc. I'm open to just about anything. I've always been more of a nonfiction reader but lately I've started in on some literature classics and they're not too bad. Books are interesting but I don't think I've ever read a book twice. Some of my favorites are: Alive, 1984, A Child Called It, The Giver, & The Glass Castle. I'll watch just about any movie but some of my favorites are: Pulp Fiction, Into the Wild, Django, Happy Gilmore, Serendipity, Strange Brew, Wild Hogs. It's a crazy list, but whatever.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the most amazing things that I have seen is northern lights in Spokane Washington. I would love to see them again. I spent a week in NYC and felt that everything I saw was amazing especially the view from the Empire State Building. Motorcycle trip down the Pacific Coast. Made my own beer. Worked on a firecrew.

Teach, Learn, Share

I studied social work in school and feel that I have strong listening and counseling skills. I am very open-minded and can communicate with many people without having any bias. If I were to teach others or share my expertise, I would say that I can help individuals recognize their strengths and build their confidence to conquer their goals or everyday challenges. As far as learning, I am open to anything.
