Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surfed in Argentina.
-Buenos Aires
-Calafate
-El Bolson
Now I offer advice, friendship, food culture, in Michigan.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed a bit.

Interests

I love sports.
Running (well I used to, now I think about it a lot and do it a little less).
Always down for ultimate frisbee.
Detroit Pistons.

I love reading. (magical realism spanish literature to science non-fiction).

I love meeting new people.
Dancing together (I love dancing, I don't have rhythm and I don't care), eating good food with new friends, walking endlessly in new places.

I love outdoor activities (rock climbing, mountain biking, hiking, and camping). And just being outside, it gives good energy.

I love learning new things (the harmonica!). I love music, I obsess over music. But I'm one of those people who can't actually name a single member of their favorite band nor understand 87% of lyrics.
