Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was recently introduced to couchsurfing by a good friend and had the most amazing first experience down in Seattle! Our host was warm, genuine, engaging and generous; I knew instantly that this was a community of humans that I wanted to engage in as I travel through the world because amazing people like this are the people I am drawn to when I travel. I am gearing up for 6 months away and am unable to host myself at this time but definitely look forward to hosting when I find a place to touch down for a significant period of time.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: One Hundred Years of Solitude, A Little Life, The Thorn Birds, The Prophet, What I Was Doing While You Were Breeding
Music: Anything from the 60s and 70s, I grew up listening to my parent's music but also love me some some 90s alt rock/punk being a teenager during that time. You'll find everything from Tom Petty to Jurassic 5, from Rufus to Rage Against the Machine and some Bobby Mo in my music library.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Watching the sun set over the Northern Colombian desert into the Carribean ocean, mind blowing moments with beautiful people.

Sailing between Colombia and Panama through the San Blas islands, unplugged, relaxed and engaged, just the way we are meant to be.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a self taught photographer and am keen to share this love with anyone who is interested; i almost gave up on learning because of all the technical stuff involved so I know how frustrating it can be when your photos don't turn out like the ones on Insta, trust me, you can capture beautiful moments and it's easier than you think!
