CURRENT MISSION

Aprender jugar "truco"!

ABOUT ME

"Traveler", "mochilero" and "CouchSurfer" used to describe me best, but now they're a part-time gig while I bow to my cubicle overlords. Perhaps another spontaneous walkabout is in the cards.

I've backpacked a lot of Latin America. My world in South Florida is a mixture between Latin American and North American influences... but CouchSurfers deservedly have a culture of their own.

PHILOSOPHY

Everything will be OK.

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

I am a Couchsurfer.

Музыка, кино и книги

Listen to everything. My faves are mostly folklórico though... Violeta Parra, Víctor Jara, James Taylor, Carole King, The Byrds, Choc Quib Town, Mars Volta...

I really love books by Dave Eggers like "What is the What" and "Zeitoun". Check them out! I also like Julio Cortazar a lot. Classics like Kerouac, Vonnegut, Steinbeck, Twain and Hemingway. A lot of non-fiction like biographies, books, magazines and anything really.

If I only had space for one book in my backpack, I would make it Narrow Road to the Interior by Basho. But I always carry the Tao Te Ching around as well.

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)

Begged for money in Costa Rica. Slept on a bench in California. Called a beach in Ecuador my home. Guided a street tour in Peru. Got lost in Uruguay. Rode a merry-go-round in Ontario. Rode a bus in Belize. Crashed a bike in Kansas City. Helped a bison cross the road in Wyoming. Nearly fell off the Grand Canyon. Nearly drowned in North Carolina. Got in a fight. Had an epiphany. Earned beads in New Orleans. Danced in Argentina. Talked to an old lady in Mexico. Drank rum in Grand Cayman. Ate dim sum in Portland. Sang a song in Seattle. Heard an encore in Indianapolis. Received a rose in Orlando. Had nightmares in Colombia. Woke up in Chicago. Watched a sunset in Chile.

But sometimes I get the most amazing feeling just looking up at the sky...
