About Me

Soy estudiante viajando después de un semestre asistiendo universidad en Bariloche, Argentina desde Marzo. Aprendí de Couchsurfing recentamente, y estoy emocionado por la oportunidad de conocer gente y lugares en un nivel más íntimo! Soy una persona relajada, considerado, y feliz de probar cualquier cosa, pretendo absorber todo de Sudamérica que puedo!

Tengo un pasión por el aire libre y la salvaje, música, y buena cerveza. Me encanta conocer gente y lugares nuevos, aprendiendo diferentes culturas y estilos de vida, compartiendo mis experiencias, y intercambiando ideas. Estudio ciencia política y problemas del medioambiente, y hablo español bastante bien.

I'm a student doing some traveling after studying abroad in Bariloche, Argentina since March. I just learned about Couchsurfing and am excited about the opportunity to get to know people and experience places on a more intimate level! I'm an easy-going, considerate person who's happy to try anything and roll with the punches, I'm just trying to soak up as much of South America as I can!

I have a passion for the outdoors, music, and good beer. I love getting to know new people and places, learning different ways of life, sharing my experiences and trading ideas with people I meet. I study public policy and environmental issues and speak decent Spanish.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Quiero tener experiencias verdaderos y profundos en los lugares que visito, no solo ver los atracciones que recomiendo un libro de guía. Quiero conocer la gente, aprender como ellos viven, y hacer cosas que solo los locales saben de hacer! Quiero aprender sobre culturas nuevas, y compartir cualquier conocimiento, experiencias, y habilidades tengo.

I want to truly experience the places I visit, not just see the top sights a travel book recommends. I want to get to know the people, learn how they live, and experience things only a local could show me! I want to learn about new cultures and share whatever knowledge, experiences, and abilities I have.
