CURRENT MISSION

to strive, to seek, to find (luchar, buscar, encontrar)

ABOUT ME

I love meeting new people and hearing their stories, which is one of the big reasons I enjoy traveling so much. I'm an academic, so by default I'm a bit of a nerd. But I'm also laid-back and am always looking for an adventure (also always looking for good food, good conversation and good company).

PHILOSOPHY

I live my life with compassion and intention.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far my participation has been spreading the word about couchsurfing to fellow travelers, hosting folks from time to time, and attending cs meetings.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was introduced to couchsurfing by a friend who swore it was the best way to meet people while traveling. She talked me in to joining and I haven't looked back since.

Teach, Learn, Share

Esoteric knowledge? Would you like to learn about theories of comparative politics or international relations? Or postmodern literature? I can help you with that. But I could also teach you the basics of horseback riding, horse training, or dog training, or give you a brief lesson in self-defense, or the basics of Argentine tango. I'd really love to learn to be a better cook, I want to learn to surf, I want to learn to dance salsa and samba, and I'd love to pick up any random skills that might come my way. I also love to learn languages, especially local slang.
