About Me

CURRENT MISSION

make each moment one to remeber

ABOUT ME

I love adventure and I travel to discover how small I really am. I love meeting new people. I play a mean kazoo. I'm a big advocate of social justice. I like to run. My favorite color is green. I'm a go back forth between vegan and vegetarian. I'm all for peace.

PHILOSOPHY

Most good things have been said far to many times and just need to be lived.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love opening up my apartment to surfers. I think everyone's stories are so interesting and help paint the picture of humanity. Diversity is a gift and the intersection of our experiences helps us grow.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have mostly experienced couchsurfing from the hosting side and it has been wonderful. I believe that what I have is all so temporary so why not share it with as many people as possible. Mi casa es su casa.

Interests

Relationships with people. Living for what I believe. Being a radical. Starting a revolution. Music. Guitar. Piano. Thinking. Living each second to its fullest. Being a person my brother and sister would look up to. Being a real friend. Realizing that not much is certain. Making people laugh. Taking the time to laugh. Getting organized. Being able to say no sometimes. Seeing smiles. Helping people. Making pop-up cards. Learning new things. Listening. Capturing the details. Remembering names, faces, smiles.

Music, Movies, and Books

Irresistible Revolution by Shane Claiborne

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Life is amazing! I have a few good stories but one that people generally think is shocking is when I lived homeless in Buenos Aires. I have a fascination/great compassion for people without homes so I wanted to understand more of what that was like. It was horrible in case you were wondering! haha But I have done this a few times in my life where I just leave the security of a door and a roof and take to living on the streets or wilderness.

Teach, Learn, Share

I really enjoy music and I usually have my guitar with me so I could teach you some guitar. I also like making up songs on the guitar so I could write you your own song.

I really enjoy learning languages.

Countries I’ve Visited
