CURRENT MISSION

to learn and live as much as I can

ABOUT ME

Well I'm pretty open minded, willing to try most things once and I jump at the chance for an adventure.

Tambien me encanta practicar el espanol. Daleeee.

PHILOSOPHY

I´m motivated to do some of the things I do because I know that if I don´t do them then I will regret it later. Life is too beautiful to let something as ugly as regret mark it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

unfortunately I don't have a couch, but when I do I promise I'll share! for me CS is mostly about being involved in the communityhere in Portland, welcoming traveller's when they arrive and want to hangout. i try to be helpful and answer questions in the forum when I can.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first experience with couchsurfing was in Sevilla Spain. I bumped into a couple of CSers near the Gaudaquivir we had a pint and told me about this lovely community and it's been a positive experience ever since.

Interests

I love to snowboard and Ski. I enjoy dancing when you feel the music You just have to move, you know?

I love to dive deep into ideas and concepts, I study Molecular Biology and Spanish, my education and life experience have been diverse. So dont let the afro fool you; it's not the cover of the book but what's between the pages that matter ;)

Beside snowboarding, dancing, and the pursuit of knowledge ( the true never ending story, I love the little things in life. Like light rain,the feel of sand between my fingers, the smell of a bakery with its doors open! and the warmth of a latte on a chill day.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sitting on top one of the hills at the base of the Sierra Nevada over looking the Granada Vega at sunnset. Magnificent. Sunsets are a global phenomenon which by definition occur everyday, but on that day in at that place it had been one of the most surreal things I have ever seen.

I was profundly moved by a 17th century painting by El Greco, and I am proud that I was able to stand on the same spot just outside of Toledo, Spain 400 years later, where it had been painted/depicted and truly have the painting come alive. it was "View of Toledo" FYI
