Note: I really appreciate it when surfers take a little time to write a request!

CURRENT MISSION

Treat others how I would like to be treated.

ABOUT ME

I am a person who loves Bob Dylan, Francoise Hardy and carne asada. I find it hard to just talk about myself directly. I dig just trying to understand the world I'm in the time I have here.

PHILOSOPHY

High hopes, low expectations.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like hosting and surfing as well. For me it's all about people. The more interesting people you meet in your life the more interesting you'll be yourself.

Interests

Playing the double bass, and banjo. Meeting people through music. I greatly enjoy language and the challenges in learning it. I also love hearing people's stories and how they have become the person they are.
