Hola and hello!

I was born in Pennsylvania, and have lived in St. Louis, Hawaii, and Nevada. I have been in Puerto Rico for 3 years and have no plans on leaving.

My condo overlooks San Juan's art district. Here you’ll find huge murals, music, cafes, bars, and restaurants including one of my favorite ice cream cookie shops. On the other side, an unobstructed view of the sun setting over the bay. Nearby is the famous La Placita (dancing, food, and drinks), lagoon (snorkeling, paddleboards, manatees), and some of my favorite beaches like Escambron.

I like to rock climb, surf, and slackline but right now I'm exploring the coral reefs, boating, and spearfishing. When I'm not looking for turtles, I'm practicing Spanish and ever so slowly learning salsa.

I read every message but I might decline without responding due to the high volume. Please only request when you have set dates.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing hosts have given me incredible experiences. I like to pay it forward.

Interests

I love spearfishing so I usually catch and cook a lot of seafood at my place. Vegans are 100% welcomed but that's my disclaimer :)

• cooking
• podcasts
• ocean
• outdoors
• sushi

Music, Movies, and Books

Anything by Alan Watts hits the spot. The last book I read was the The Sounds of Life by Karen Bakker. It's about researchers learning how animals communicate.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Built a career that lets me create my own schedule.
