About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel the world and see where life takes me.

ABOUT ME

I just moved back to Medellin Colombia, one of my top 3 favorite cities in the world, to learn a little Spanish, do a little work, and meet some more amazing people like the last time I was here 5 years ago.

After this I'm taking my new Spanish skills around South America.

PHILOSOPHY

You learn something new every day.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My roommates and I hosted a lot of couch couch surfers when I lived in Las vegas the past few years. Unfortunately at my new place I can't host anybody but I'm looking forward to lots of meet-ups and all the events the Medellin couch surfing community holds.

Interests

basketball, yoga, travel, social dynamics, almost anything outdoors and/or athletic

  • yoga
  • traveling
  • outdoor activities
  • surfing
  • snorkeling
  • basketball

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - I listen to all types of music. Yes, that even includes country and reggaetón

Books - I prefer nonfiction audio books since i don't retain as much when I read.

I was a film major in school and working in Hollywood for awhile, so I do love my movies & TV

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I find almost any new and unique experience amazing no matter how small it may seem.

An amazing view can be just a breathtaking as the grand canyon or the pyramids.

Top to candidates right now are Angkor Wat & snorkeling in the Philippines

Teach, Learn, Share

On my travels I have learned that whether an interaction is good or bad you can learn from anyone. I tend to gravitate toward people who are constantly positive and happy, which most travelers tend to be.
