CURRENT MISSION: Aprender a vivir sin mapa

Spanish is now the language I live in, and am taking intensive French classes. I try to send good vibes to those around me. I lived in Venezuela and Madrid, and after returning to Minneapolis for a while, moved permanently to Barcelona with my wife, Gina.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people, build karma and practice a sharing culture.

Interests

Ice hockey. Playing music. Having a beer and talkin noise. Learning languages.

Music, Movies, and Books

I read fiction in Spanish and non-fiction in English. Kids books in French (now I'm on to the Harry Potter books...)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Gone from non-Spanish speaker to certified court interpreter in my 20s.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach? I have taught English and Spanish. Now I'm a student again in French classes.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm always happy pitching in for groceries or making a nice meal for a host. I hope I get the chance to surf more.
