About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Exploring South America - getting to know as many places and people (and foods!) as possible along the way

ABOUT ME

I am always up for trying new things! I love having adventures with my favorite people, and meeting new people along the way. I like to hear about other people´s adventures so I can be inspired to start planning my next dream trip.

PHILOSOPHY

Try anything twice!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Currently looking to surf throughout South America, but planning to host any and all visitors to Albuquerque, NM upon my return.

Interests

I try to spend all my time traveling. I enjoy being outdoors - camping, hiking, snowboarding, etc. I also spend plenty of time reading books and trying new foods.

Music, Movies, and Books

I will read pretty much any book I can get my hands on, which has been useful since the options can be very strange in hostel book exchanges :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Floating down the Li River in Guilin, China and seeing the local people fishing with cormorant birds, the solitude of trekking in South America, glaciers in Patagonia, not being eaten by caimans in Bolivia

Teach, Learn, Share

I am happy to teach English or anything else I may know that someone is interested in.

I am on a mission to become fluent in Spanish, but have also discovered my desire to learn about cooking, gardening, building, and sustainability.
