ABOUT ME

After growing up in Silicon Valley, and a stint in lovely Missoula, Montana, I´ve expatriated to Mexico to marry my gordito and take on the challange of living my life in my second language.

We're now adjusting to life with our baby son, a little butthead of a dog, and two chickens. In short, lots of poop. And lots of cuteness. It balances out.

PHILOSOPHY

Echale ganas. Listen to what plants, bugs, mountains, animals, and children have to say. And, as a wise man once said, "Keep on chooglin'."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Thanks to my lovely Missoula housemate Lauren, who told me about Couch Surfing, I've met all kinds of fascinating wanderers in the past year.

Interests

Plants. Making something beautiful out of the materials I have at hand. History. Language. The way the colors purple and yellow look together. Swimming. Trying to describe the indescribable. Failing at describing the indescribable. Having dreams that still make sense in the morning. Hearing people's stories. Occasionally drinking way too much wine.
