ABOUT ME

***my response rate is low because I forgot to set my profile to say I have been traveling and was incommunicado!! I am not a jerk I promise!

My favorite things to do are sleep, eat and read.

I love latin american culture in general. I just can´t get enough.

I am currently living near Taipei in Xizhi for the next year or so teaching English and would love to meet some awesome people!

PHILOSOPHY

"Evolution is intrinsic to man's nature, evolution is his very soul. And those who take themselves for granted remain unfulfilled; those who think they are born complete remain unevolved. Then the seed remains the seed, never becomes a tree, and never knows the joys of spring and the sunshine and the rain, and the ecstasy of bursting into millions of flowers."
— OSHO

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Traveling in Costa Rica, I met a friend at a hostel that had contacted a couch surfer in San Jose. We all went out for drinks and had a wonderful time dancing. The beautiful Ximena was ever so helpful and showed us the ways of what is generally thought to be a dangerous city.
