ABOUT ME

I studied ESL and Spanish at Salisbury University. I'd like to travel to and live in the Andes Mountain region.

I spend most of my free time homebrewing, gardening, cooking and running. Member of a CSA (our farm grows the best damn food around!).

I'm currently studying Brewing Science at the American Brewers Guild in Middlebury, VT.

I work at Evolution Craft Brewing in the Tasting Room and am a contractor for a nonprofit called Migrant Clinicians Network. We work to improve health justice for migrant and seasonal farmworkers and their families.

Did I mention homebrewing?

I live above an art studio/ retail store/ cafe with my girlfriend in a small - medium sized town on the Eastern Shore of Maryland.

PHILOSOPHY

Donde hay vino, bebemos vino;
Donde no hay vino, bebemos agua fresca.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have plenty of free space that I am willing to make available to anyone in need.
I'd like to take experience the hospitality of others in order to learn how people in other parts of the world live their lives.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted several folks and met several other CSers. I think the CS culture is amazing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The coastline in Ecuador is a memory that always seems to be in the forefront of my mind when I think about traveling. I also fell in love with the small rural mountain town Saraguro. I'd like to return to the rural Andes villages and make beer and learn the language, Quechua.
