I'm an optimist and idealist. I'm a laid back and easy going guy. I was born and raised on the border of El Paso, Texas and Juarez, Mexico. I am eager to experience the world and learn from others. I am currently working as a public high school history teacher and coach football and track. I'm a lifelong student who loves conversation and getting to know new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been away from Couchsurfing for a while due to a stringent schedule and the lack of couch to surf, but I'm back! I'm here because I like sharing my hometown with others and getting the Couchsurfing perspective from those on the road.

Interests

I'm interested in international politics, music, good food and drink, different cultures, all things outdoors, hiking, biking, running, yoga, football, art, history, poetry, documentaries, good movies, and so much more!
