About Me

I am a lifelong traveler and I love to learn about different cultures and meet new people. I've been living in Denver for the past few years. In 2020 and 2021 I backpacked 9 months through Ecuador and Colombia. I am spending 2023 in Mexico and Chile.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am really into alternative travel methods that don’t necessitate large hotel chains and spending lots of money, and also allow the traveler to get a more authentic and soulful perspective of the place they are visiting, so I love to host people and be hosted when I am traveling

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite music is anything that has a soul to it. My favorite is rock music. I love many different genres of rock.
I also like classical music from all over the world, jazz, hip hop, etc

Movies: Documentaries about music, nature, adventure, the political/social order of things in the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiked the Colorado Trail, a 500 mile trail through the national forests of Colorado :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a fairly advanced Spanish speaker so I can help people with that, also would love to become more fluent!
I used to study French so I would like to get back into that and would love to learn Portuguese too.
I really love to cook for/with people! Something I recently learned is how to make coconut milk and cream from a whole coconut!
I really enjoy conversing about profound things and I like to talk to people who think differently than me or disagree with me, so that I am always challenging my perceptions and through this, expanding my awareness, understanding and compassion for others more and more.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A delicious home cooked dinner!
