ABOUT ME

Laid-back, long-haired, tea-drinking poet! Outgoing & curious, with an interesting background and table manners. I do so much, it often feels like not a whole lot. Currently waiting tables at a Mexican restaurant in Valparaíso, practicing yoga, spending time at the beach with friends and perros callejeros, drinking maté, and finding the time to write.

PHILOSOPHY

"Life is infinitely stranger than anything the mind could invent." -- Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

"Yesterday, I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today, I am wise, so I am changing myself."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am a natural traveler and love having a local experience when I travel. I often do my best to leave the tourist trap behind and get a real feel for where I go. I've never hosted a surfer but always invite friends to stay w me. I love meeting fellow surfers on my travels & sharing experiences!

I have surfed in: Seattle, WA., Mendoza, Argentina.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Back into the groove of Couchsurfing.... Though never having officially hosted, I love entertaining guests & hanging out when I'm not busy. That said, I'd like to think I am a good guest. Having met many CouchSurfers, abroad or Stateside, they've all told me to take a leap of faith & continue surfing. Nothing but positive feedback & encouragement that Couch Surfing is a social experiment for people like me.

My music & movies taste vary. I have a lot of favorites!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

If nothing else, I try to do one amazing thing a day. Sometimes this involves watching the sunset, playing with the neighbors' kids, or helping a stranger.

I've published some of my writing in small journals & created one self-publication as my senior project.

I continue to travel and find myself in awe-inspiring-magnificent parts of this world.

Teach, Learn, Share

More often than I like to admit, I am a complete people person. I live for communication and the characters I come across. Open minded and big hearted others, who enjoy the company of new friends and hearing stories from all different journeys. Travelers & homebodies alike. Spiritual, artistic folk. Active adventurers, and those silly childlike souls too.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Experience & stories from my life, as well as knowledge about little things I've picked up. Soy super bueno para conversar y me encantaría pasar la tarde con un mate o chela hablando de la vida.
