About Me

I love to travel and meet new people. I'm curious about just about everything and love to learn and teach.
I grew up with exchange students and travelers from around the world as regular guests in my home.
I love the outdoors and endurance exercise, and I have a serious case of wanderlust.
Sharing music, conversation, and good food/drink is my idea of a good time.
What else would you like to know about me?

Amo viajar y conocer gente nueva. Soy curioso sobre casi todo y amo aprender y ensenar. Creci con intercambistas y viajeros de muchos partes del mundo encuanto crecia. Me gusta estar afuera y ejercicio largo, y tengo la necesidad de explorar.
Compartir musica, conversa, y comida/bebida buena es mi idea de un buen tiempo.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I used to think that I've had great luck in coming across kind and fascinating people and experiences. While undoubtedly very fortunate, it seems that finding great new experiences isn't a matter of luck, but practically guaranteed when you go out in the world with an open mind and a positive attitude.

I much prefer to spend money on groceries and beer/wine to share with good company than to pay for a place to stay alone.

Right now I have returned to Spain to see old friends and make new ones, as I contemplate the next stage in my life. I will spend some quality time in Barcelona before traveling in Southern Spain by bicycle.

I like to let plans form organically as life unfolds and new opportunities present themselves. I know that this sometimes makes for little advanced notice, and is not so convenient everyone, so I completely understand if you cannot accommodate me. Perhaps we can still meet up and maybe plan a different day.

Pensaba que tuve suerte por encontrar tanta gente y experiencias interesantes. Aun que he sido ciertamente afortunado, parace que encontrar gran experiencias no es un assunto de suerte, sino prácticamente garantizado cuando sales al mundo con una mente abierta y una actitud positiva.

Prefiero gastar dinero con comestibles y cerveza/vino para compartir con buena compañía en vez de pagar para un lugar donde quedarme solo.

Ahora he vuelto a Espana para ver viejos amigos y hacer nuevos, encuanto contemplo la próxima época de mi vida. Quedare en Barcelona un buen rato antes de viajar por el sul de Espana de bici.

Me gusta dejar los planes se formar orgánicamente asi que la vida desenvuelve y nueva oportunidades se presenten. Se que a veces esto no deja mucho tiempo de previso y no es conveniente para todos, entonces entiendo completamente si no podras acomodarme. Tal vez podemos encontrarnos de qualquier manera, o programar otro dia.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like most music, but I've got a soft spot for classic rock.

Books:
The last couple great reads were
Godel, Escher, Bach by Douglas Hofstadter
Out of Control by Kevin Kelly

Both are thick, chewy, non-fiction which will get you thinking about many topics with some common themes. That's my kind of book.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I bicycled across Europe and want to do much more of it!

Viaje de bici atraves de Europa y quiero hacer mucho mas de eso!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm curious about just about everything and am always looking to learn and teach. I'm always glad to have a good conversation about my interests, yours, or most anything else for that matter.
