About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I'm trying to spend as much of my twenties outside of the States as possible, and while I'm at it, see if I can move around and see new places as much as visit old favorites. I love travelling around Europe, but want to see more, too.

ABOUT ME

Here I am, hoping to be there.

PHILOSOPHY

Nobody's perfect, but everybody's trying to do their best in their own way. I think that the family your born to, if you're lucky, is good company and loves you, but the "tribe" of people you choose to share your life with as you meet them are just as, and sometimes MORE, important.
I don't hold grudges. Life's too short. If I you bump into someone in your life that brings you happiness for a while, go with it. If they rub you the wrong way, just keep moving...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

For now just feeling things out, until I can afford to be more ambitious.
I definitely want to start travelling more and meeting some new people - I think this is a really good community to find interesting people through!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

COMING SOON: MY FIRST! :)

Interests

Languages, reading books and seeing movies in their original language if possible, meeting other people who are interested in more than the world immediately around them.

Music, Movies, and Books

I READ! Favorites: Graphic Novels (Alan Moore, Neil Gaiman), en español!! - Borges, silvina ocampo, any bestseller I can get my hands on..., umm...Italo Calvino, Salman Rushdie --I love storytellers, literary or otherwise!!
AND i really like science fiction and fantasy also...
MUSIC: Rock and roll is my heart and soul, but I loke a lot of other things too, and I sing with a country duo in Madrid. I'm learning to play the saw!
