About Me

Just graduated University mid-August and am now driving across the country while trying to work on a novel. I mean, what's an English Major / Creative writing minor suppose to do after graduation?? Of course, put all their stuff in a car and drive until he runs out of money while trying to finish his first novel ever, right?

But, really.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

+ Traveling while trying to write a novel
+ Love meeting people who put extra effort into trying to travel
+ Possibly looking for another writer to travel with down the line (maybe around October. I've got a car we can use)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went volcano boarding in Nicaragua once. That was really cool! It's basically exactly what it sounds like. I hiked up a volcano with some gear, and then rode down the side of Cerro Negro (a volcano) on a wooden tablet, reaching speeds of approx. 50 km/h. Seriously, one of the most fun things I've ever done.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help you practice Spanish!
I kinda know how to salsa dance. I would love to learn more / practice!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm Nicaraguan and have been there around thirty times. If you were ever trying to go there, I could tell you so much about it! I know large portions of that country like the back of my own hand.

I'm also always looking for salsa partners to practice with. Or I like practicing my Spanish also.

Countries I’ve Visited

Costa Rica, England, France, New Zealand, Nicaragua
