I just finished my masters degree and wanted to take a different kind of journey for a while so I decided to cycle from the middle of the world (Ecuador) to the end of the world (Patagonia). I am a huge fan of cycle touring because of the way it connects you to the landscape and the kinds of challenges it presents. I would love to meet other travelers to practice Spanish and to take a break from practicing spanish by chatting in English ahaha

My main interests are reading fiction and literature, traveling and exploring, cycling, listening to music, learning about biology and cultures, looking at art, and making my own paintings and drawings. Would love to hear about yours!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I can't wait to explore the world and meet new people and new cultures. I want to expand my understanding of the world as well experience it in ways I never have before. I would love to meet new friends and learn about them and their native countries. I want to improve my french and spanish and pick up more languages as I go.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favourite type of music is Indie/folk, but I'm open to most genres

I love reading, and enjoy most genres. I've read Les Miserables to Narnia, Harry Potter to the Epic of Gilgamesh, Plato's Republic to Dracula. If you have any suggestions, send them my way!

As for movies, I enjoy psychological thrillers, dramas and action films, but have a soft spot for Disney movies and Rom Coms

Always open to exploring new music, books, and films!
