Hola! Estoy más o menos 25% fluido en español, pardon mis errores aquí!

Soy un estudiante a la Universidad de British Columbia en Vancouver, Canadá, y estoy estudiando conservación de los recursos naturales y ecología de los bosques. He vivido en Vancouver por 5 años, y soy originalmente de San Francisco, California. Amo haciendo música y arte, escribiendo, cocinar comida, y todos actividades en natura— trekking y escalando las rocas! Me gusta conversación, incluyendo cuando no entiendo todo porque mi español es mal! :)

Estoy viajando en Sur y Centro América por tres meses (Mayo-Augusto 2019). Primera, estoy trabajando con la Universidad de Río Negro por investigación de los impactos de las vacas en los bosques en Patagonia. Después, voy a ir a Peru (Machu Picchu!), Ecuador (cerca de Quito), y Guatemala (Lago Atitlán).

Hi! I’m an undergraduate student at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada, studying natural resource conservation and forest ecology. I’ve lived in Vancouver for 5 years, and I’m originally from San Francisco, California. I love making music (guitar, piano, singing), drawing, writing, cooking, and anything outdoors, such as trekking and rock climbing. I enjoy good conversation, even in Spanish when I don’t understand everything, I usually can follow along decently well! :)

I am traveling around South and Central America from May through August 2019. First, I’m working on ecological research with the University of Rio Negro, studying the impacts of cattle grazing on the forests of the Patagonian Andes. Next, I’ll moving up through Peru (Machu Picchu!) and Ecuador (around Ecuador) before finally to Guatemala (Lake Atitlán).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It seems like a lovely way to meet cool people in new cities and a wholesome way to travel.
