¡Hola! Hablo un poco de español. I'm new here! Embarking on a Journey through South America. I've learned that travel is about people first, and places second. I'm learning Spanish and hope that it will improve by interacting with lots of Spanish speakers all over the continent. I've been working in technology for many years but lately I'm wondering whether it's time to move on to other things :-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

¡Para encontrar Latinos y hablar español! To meet the people of South America, see their continent through their eyes, and learn something new every day (better yet, every two hours!)

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm learning Spanish and would like to become more fluent. I'm happy to teach basic Hebrew - the ancient language of the old testament - how to use the internet, how to use Excel. I can also teach English.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Conversation about life, different perspectives, how to make a better world with technology and despite technology, world affairs, politics, humanity. Language exchange. Board games. Lots of laughs. Making and sharing food together. Can help with computers and internet, Excel spreadsheets, data.
