CURRENT MISSION

Learn to love better and more

ABOUT ME

I love the outdoors, animals, art, and life. I thoroughly enjoy backpacking, reading, climbing, working out and trips to the beach and mountains. I'm trying to figure out what I'll be spending the rest of my life doing, and I'm doing my best to be okay with having no flipping clue what that will be.

PHILOSOPHY

"Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it." Matthew 10:39

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've surfed some amazing couches, but my home in the States is a farm in the middle of nowhere and my home in El Salvador is in the middle one of the most dangerous hoods in the most dangerous city of one of the most dangerous countries in the world. Haha so no one ever seems to want to stay on my couches.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed in Sevilla, Spain, and in Cabarete and Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic-both of which were amazing experiences. Still waiting for the opportunity to host someone...

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to get rid of the kinks which remain in my Spanish Grammar. I'd like to learn to dance, surf, and play the piano. I also could use some voice lessons sometime, I really can't sing.
