I'm from California, and have spent the last year teaching English to bird tourism guides in Cali, Colombia. If you want to talk about biodiversity, I'm here for you. I am a laid back person, generally easy to be around and I do relish a good laugh among friends.

I feel very lucky to be here in Colombia and am looking forward to a few months of travel in Brazil!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couch surfing has been an amazing gift to me, the people I've encountered in this community have changed the way I view the world, and I'm extremely grateful.
I've been away from the site for a few years, but am ready to get started again!

Interests

I enjoy most outdoor activities, reading books, and kicking it with the homies.

Outdoor activities ie: climbing, running, hiking, snowboarding, horseback riding, swimming in the ocean.

Indoor things: cooking, reading, drinking wine, yoga

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: a variety, but always expanding.
