I was born, raised, and attended college in New Mexico, U.S. and I spent too much time in my textbooks and worrying about getting a job to get out and experience the world. Now that I have the time, I am trying to play catch-up and see the beautiful landscapes, and cultures I've been missing. I love the great outdoors and would prefer to experience the world in its raw beauty without the hustle and bustle of tourist traps.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The best way to experience a new locale is by meeting the locals. I'm a big fan of visiting the off the beaten track sights when I travel, and the best way to find that hole-in-the-wall eatery or the best scenery is to ask a local!

Interests

i am an avid cyclist and runner. I originally raced triathlon before getting back to my single sport roots. I'm currently in the early stages of planning a long (year?) bike tour through South America.

Music, Movies, and Books

Teach, Learn, Share

Take nothing but pictures, leave nothing but footprints.
