About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Explore. Expand my mind to different cultures, ideas, and perspectives. Listen.

ABOUT ME

I'm a quirky dude who is game for anything (within reason).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love the idea of complete strangers welcoming each other into their homes all over the world. This is an amazing concept that transcends cultures and political borders. I'm excited to get involved in this movement, both in the giving and receiving side.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Not much to tell now. I have hung out with those in the BsAs surfing community for a bit, and it has completely transformed my Argentina experience. I'm looking forward to some potential surfing around the country this winter!

Interests

I love chemistry and generally nerdy things, but I think that you will find that I don't particularly come off as a nerd (I tend to keep my nerdy-ness bottled up inside, often causing it to bubble up into unsuspecting conversation). I love good people and conversation over a good cup of whatever people wanna drink (in BsAs it's mate). I love the outdoors and doing any sort of active activity.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Oh geez. No idea at this point. Sorry.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm not sure whether I have any significant knowledge to share, but I'm completely open to any and all questions directed at me and my life experience.

I'm always looking to learn and improve my Spanish, and generally learn from the wisdom and experience that comes with walking the earth.
