I moved up to New England after traveling and living in El Paso, Tx the past few years. I like to bike, sail, read, and garden. I also like foraging for wild mushrooms.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I hope to do more long distance bike trips in the future and hope to meet new people and spend a few nights indoors instead of camping every night.

Interests

• coffee

Music, Movies, and Books

I watch a lot of French films to work on my language skills. Any Alain Delon film or Jean-Pierre Melville flick.
Roberto Bolaño, Borges, Cortázar, to name a few authors. Thomas Pynchon's Gravity's Rainbow and Cormac McCarthy's border trilogy are some of my favorites.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

built up my '78 Peugeot UO-8 for touring (although I haven't done a ton of touring on it yet)
