CURRENT MISSION

To show Surfers a great time in the small town my father grew up in.

ABOUT ME

I was born in the Sates, but I have been living in Ecuador since 2008 when my father started to get sick. When my father passed away back in October 2011 I didn't know if I should go back home or stay here in Alausi. My father left my sisters and I a farm. I thought to myself that I couldn't just leave what my father worked so hard for us. So I stayed, and to this day I still feel his presence all around his farm. He was always very proud of this up bringing in Alausi.

PHILOSOPHY

When I'm older I want to have amazing stories to tell my kids like when my father used to tell me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would like to help people who are travailing to Alausi or any where in Ecuador because when I went to Peru I felt like EVERY ONE was trying to rip you off!
(that should not me the experience we want)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Personally I have never surfed (YET) but back in July of 2011 I went to Ayampe (small beach town in Manabi) with my daughter Luna. Luna made friends with a nice girl from Massachusetts. We had plans that night to make a bonfire on the beach, so naturally Luna invited her over. We started stalking and that's when she told me about Couch Surfing.

Music, Movies, and Books

LOVE horror movies, but I watch everything. I do slip in a romantic comedy once in a while. I listen to every type of music but my fav has to be "Ragge Roots" like Cultura Profectica, Dread Mar I, Papa Chango and many more.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Cliff diving off a 30ft cliff. I'm very afraid of heights so this was BIG for me!
