Hello!
There seems to be a lot of natural buena onda/bonheur in this couchsurfing network and I want to join in!
Je parle français assez confortablement maintenant que j'ai étudié à Paris pour un semestre.
En español, todavía estoy a un nivel conversaciónal pero necesito practica!

If you speak or are learning any other languages, I would truly be very interested in learning about them too. I've been studying some Swedish lately. I would love to learn Russian, but I know nothing now.

I graduated college with a degree in civil engineering, worked in Moab, Utah building strawbale houses and have done a whole myriad of things since then.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to make connections with new people when I travel because I know that I will be able to learn a lot more from them than I ever could on my own, especially in a new city. Making these connections makes life so much more rich!

A couch surfing experience is the essence of why I enjoy traveling. I want to learn from and share with people from the place where I am visiting and having an opportunity to do that through couchsurfers is a beautiful thing! I like that being in a generous atmosphere helps nurture the generous part of me. =)

Interests

I love playing sports, learning about history and geography, talking about politics, and practicing foreign languages. I love analyzing anything, learning statistics, and being quizzed.
I am extremely interested in seeking out good teachers in life. Nothing makes me more unhappy that being stuck in a class with a bad teacher.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music:
As a teenager I love The Beatles, Led Zeppelin , and Pink Floyd but I am always on the search for new music from diverse genres. Now I am most interested in beautiful international instrumental music that makes me want to dance.
I really enjoy rap and hip hop when I am learning a new language and learning about a new culture (i.e. la canción de la trova and rap français).

I want to figure out how to get the inspiration to write some of my own songs soon...
