I'm from the US but I've been living in Argentina for working for here for the past 8 months. Spoke no Spanish before but fairly proficient now. Before I lived in San Francisco, US for 6 years which was amazing.

I come from a HUGE family - I have 2 brothers and 6 sisters - I also have over 100 first cousin (only know about 5% of their names). I'm very close with my family/

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meet new people, have and share new experiences, learn and teach about other cultures, grow, see the world. I love traveling and want to meet people who are like minded in this area!

Interests

Fitness, reading, learning / online classes, travel, spending time with family and friends, challenging work for the fulfilment of accomplishment

Work hard but very and career focused but at the same time I think feels there's so much more to life than your "work". I always need to be doing something on the side that is helping me develop more as a person.

At the moment I'm focused on learning Spanish and trying to learn everything I can about Argentina and travel around South America.

I'm also into mind and body health development - everyday I strive to meditate, exercise, and track what I eat. That said, I try to balance that with enjoying life and I also love to go out with friend to explore new places, dance, have fun.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: To go out / party I love electronic (one of my friends once told me I always have an electronic beat going in my head and nothing could be more true). I also love cachengue and reggaeton to go out and/or dance. Jazz in the morning to start the day. I also cook to Frank Sinatra a lot.

Movies: Interstellar, Zoolander, Indiana Jones. hmm idk there are so many. Not really a Netflix show person, but I have my binge months - recently watched a WWII documentary on Netflix, and before that a documentary on Nicky Jam lol (to help learn Spanish). I love documentaries - and youtube videos (TED talks) as well.

Books: Psychology, Sociology, History. I have a goal of reading 1 book / month! I love the blog waitbutwhy.com
