I am taking a sabbatical from my corporate job, doing project management and technical analysis, and exploring the world (mostly Central America, possibly Asia) to see if there are other places I might be interested in living in. I'm starting in Queretaro, Mexico in September, with two weeks at a language school to bring my Spanish up to speed. Then I will see what opportunities open up from there, and would love to connect with anyone willing to help me practice my new language skills.
Interested in Dancing
Interested in Hiking
Fluent in German
Learning Spanish
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
A friend here in Santa Cruz suggested it because he has had such great experiences with it, and I love the slogan "You have friends all over the world! You just haven't met them yet!" Can't wait for my first experience!
Music, Movies, and Books
Music: I'm kind of all over the place, right now I happen to be listening to Otis Redding, but also enjoy Linkin' Park, Kings of Leon, Alabama Shakes, and so many others I can't think of right now. Movies: I prefer comedies, but find myself not enjoying movies as much as I used to. Is it me or are many of the new ones just not that great? It seems to be more about special effects these days than a good story. Books: Health topics, Dan Brown, The Celestine Prophecy, Life is Good
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Skydiving, AWESOME!!!!
Teach, Learn, Share
Teach/Share: I'm a pretty good cook, mostly vegetarian/vegan, and love to share a good meal with friends or family. Also happy to practice German or English with someone. Learn: Anything! I love expanding my horizon.
What I Can Share With Hosts
A good conversation, or just an ear (or two!), if you just need someone to listen to you, meals (I'm happy to cook), maybe a fun hike.
