As a Ravenclaw, knowledge is my greatest motivation. I like learning new things and having new experiences.

When traveling, I like to make friends with the locals, see the sights (manmade and natural), and participate in cultural events, pastimes, and festivals. When at home, I am constantly working on two or three different hobbies.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Normally I would stay at a hostel or Airbnb, but a Peruvian acquaintance who recently visited Machu Picchu recommended that I try Couchsurfing for my nights in Cusco.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- staying overnight at a Buddhist monastery on Koyasan
- seeing Carnaval in Rio

Teach, Learn, Share

I hope my references show that I'm clean, respectful, and a good conversationalist.

I can:
- teach you some card games
- teach you how to read music
- show you how to dance salsa and bachata
- tell you about Chicago, Illinois and Fort Collins, Colorado, USA
- present pictures from the places I've traveled
- talk about artificial intelligence research, math, and software engineering

I am interested in:
- learning about your home and your unique perspective and experiences
- practicing my Spanish

What I Can Share with Hosts

Could I help out with household chores? I think that would be an interesting way to give back to the Couchsurfing community.

I am fairly proficient in Spanish, so hopefully that will smooth some communication.
