I'm a traveling music nerd that loves to meet nice people, have nice conversations, and enjoy and share life. I was born in Texas, have lived all over the world, and call Oregon home.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been on Couchsurfing for a while, but have never used it. Now I feel is the time to give it a try!

Interests

Latin American culture, politics, and social justice movements. Dignity for all peoples. Music, especially instrumental post-rock. Ideas of sustainability. Attempting to understand global food systems. Cooking and eating. Meeting and getting to know nice, open, thoughtful people. Making the world a better place one lovely conversation at a time. Coffee, tea, mate. Traveling, exploring, and being eco-conscious. So many things to list!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm fun, friendly, like to converse... I'm thoughtful, considerate, and if I don't add something to your life, I surely won't take anything away from it. I like to share my life, my experiences, my travels, stories of people I've met along the way... I like to cook and clean. I try to be a nice as the nice people that I meet in life.
