I was born in North Miami Beach and live a little outside of the city. I'd been living in the surrounding suburbs for a while until deciding to move to Spain to persue teaching English. Since then, I've discovered my love for traveling, seeing the world and doing new things. Overall, I'm a pretty relaxed guy who enjoys the simple things; good food, nature, music, video games and having drinks with good company, new experiences, learning languages, and interacting with new cultures.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I'm on couchsurfing because I think it's a great way to experience life. Life, humans, passions, it seems like really LIVING, getting at what we really want is all about making connections with others. Couchsurfing is one of the best ways that we can connect with one another. Travel to a new place, lose yourself in the company of a host and let the good times roll.

Live while you can.
There's always something to be learned if you're paying attention.

Algo increíble que he hecho

Well, I moved to Barcelona and found a place to live and got a job and was part of the community for a while. . . That was pretty sweet!

But also, I was leaving the school that I was working at in Barcelona. I was slowly telling the kids as I introduced them to the other English speaker who would soon have replaced me. I kept getting really sad looks and students asking me why. These kids are heartbreakers man, hahaha
Anyway, to show them I cared, I spent HOURS the night before my last day baking everyone of my 300+ students S'mores (US deliciousness) so that they could have a little more out of US culture and know I cared. The next day was bittersweet, but by the end I had handed out a TON of sweets and gave one to EVERY student I had to tell them how much they mattered and that I cared.

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

-I'm an English teacher
-I enjoy cooking
-I'm a singer, maybe by the time we meet I'll have finally picked up an instrument!
-I love playing games (video games, board games, card games, anything for some fun competition)
-I'm also someone who's willing to share their own ideas and passions with conviction, but still open minded enough to see the value of anothers' experience. Always makes for a good conversation partner.
