CURRENT MISSION

Sharing my experiences and helping others. I seek JOY by putting others' needs before mine and want to experience life to the fullest!

ABOUT ME

I'm an ancient soul - love to learn and dream. I'm from Texas but my family is from Nicaragua - a large, strong, latin family. I am now based in Austin after living overseas in Sydney and Qatar for the last 7 years. I'm employed as a sleep scientist so I study sleeping patterns in clinical and non-clinical populations as well as do research in the area. It's quite fascinatiing to learn about the brain!! I love sport and healthy lifestyles. I love to cook and share my food, try new beer and some wine. I have a passion for different cultures, knowledge, and hope that we can all make a difference. I find the positives in every situation. I think I can get along with anyone so give me a shout and lets SURF!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now I'm keen to get on board after a few years hiatus online. I'm back in the USA and regularly travel both near and far. I want to meet people and share experiences just like when overseas.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

none yet - can't wait though! Planning a trip this year back home and through Europe

Interests

Same as above - you name it I will do it...talk about it - read it - sing it - watch it - listen to it - etc! Of course I love triathlons, cycling, running, swimming, wine, food, church, politics, dreaming, talking, teaching - JAZZ!! I think I'm an old soul for sure!

Let me cook for you and we'll be in business! You'll have to point me in the right direction for the local markets though!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Moving to Sydney was a big change for me. Howevever, I was fortunate to experience a 25kg weight loss and have a new found lifestyle in healthy food and a positive outlook on life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to teach - but learning and sharing are among the greatest things one can do. I am catholic so I believe JOY comes from Jesus, Others, and then You and me.
