I was born and raised in Texas and moved to San Francisco, California in 2008, where I have lived ever since.
I love meeting new challenges. I do not consider myself extreme in any way. I think I am quite cautious actually, and that helps me take on challenges that some people find intimidating.
I taught English in Korea for a year, having never been to Asia prior.
I moved to the most expensive city in the US with little money and no job prospects.
For three years, I lived on a 100 year old wooden fishing boat in San Francisco Bay.
In November of 2017, with my girlfriend I set out on the Panamerican motorcycle adventure that I had long dreamt of. It has been an incredible experience so far. We plan to reach 'el fin del mundo' Ushuaia in March 2019. I am a pretty chill person. When I travel I enjoy immersing myself in my environment.
I don't party much and often prefer a good book to a night out.
Hablo español un poco. Es mejor que en el comenzando, pero necesito practicar mas todavia.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Quiero conocer gente local y experimentar la cultura de América Latina.
I want to meet local people and experience the culture of Latin America. I have met so many incredible people, and some lifelong friends, from Germany to South Korea, through Couchsurfing. It is a wonderful way to experience the world.
Interests
El mundo es rica. Yo estoy interesar en las riquezas del mundo.
The world is a rich place. I am interested in filling my life with that richness, and expanding my ability to appreciate it. I love good food, but I also love a can of beans over a campfire. I love good music, but I prefer a friend strumming on a humble guitar. I love to hike and camp and generally to be outdoors. I love my motorcycle and all the trouble it causes me, and all the people it introduces me to. It is my baby, my horse, my obsession, and my albatross.

Music, Movies, and Books
Me gusta musica, peliculas, y libros, inusuales y experimentales. Cosas que tener una perspectiva unica.
Music. This inspired my to look at spotify.me to see my listening habits. According to Spotify, my top genres are: Compositional Ambient, Ambient, Indie Folk, Chamber Pop, Freak Folk, and Fourth World. I don't know what half of those are. I 'stream like a traveler'. My top artist is Tim Hecker, and my most listened to track is Dawn, by Ry X. Interesting..
Movies. My taste in movies is arguably more obscure than my taste in music. Referencing my Rotten Tomato reviews reveals that some of my favorite movies are: The Tree of Life, The Killing of a Sacred Deer, The Lobster, Dunkirk, Mad Max: Fury Road, Rosemary's Baby, Waking Ned Devine, Gravity.
Books. I'll take a look at my reviews on goodreads: Demian, The Collected Fictions of Jorge Luis Borges, Under the Volcano, If on a Winter's Night a Traveler, The Autobiography of Red, The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet, and Wind Up Bird Chronicles.
