Currently living in San Jose, California!

I've been mostly traveling or away from home since March 2013. I really love Latin America and lived in Mexico City for 8 months in 2014. I spent the last couple winters in Europe and have been in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico, a lot of the rest of the time. I am currently living in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico. I work online. My Spanish is good, but I'm not fluent.

I spent my 20s trying to figure out my place in this world, and my 30s are starting out the same way!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people. I've been going to CS events in various cities for a while but am looking to host for the first time since getting my own apartment.

Interests

Traveling, learning, growing, bodybuilding, running. I like practicing and improving my Spanish and want to eventually be fluent. I studied Spanish at la UNAM in D. F., Mexico for several months in 2014.
