Music, Movies, and Books

I really enjoy all different types of music (not a huge fan of country). I like indie, ska, rock, folk, and any group that puts on a great live show! Some groups and people I enjoy to listen to: The Black Keys, The Doors, The Beatles, MGMT, Group Love, Jimmy Cliff, etc.

I love reading. I think more people should read on a regular basis. While I travel I plan on having some books with me that I can trade with other travels or hosts.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Took my mom skydiving for her 64th birthday in Boulder, CO. I rode a camel in the Sahara Desert in 2006 on a trip while studying abroad in Seville, Spain. I was on 2 production teams for Music Festivals at Red Rocks in 2011. I have been traveling South America and Central America solo for 3 years.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach people about cooking, soccer snowboarding, and sandboarding if they are interested. I have run soccer programs along with snowboard camps and contests. I would like to learn more Spanish and about the different cultures in South America.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook for them! Speak Spanish and some Portuguese. Also, if they want to know about traveling in Latin America, living and working.
