Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I enjoy traveling (locally & afar) plus meeting new people, & prefer to have more authentic, off-the-beaten-path experiences. I've found spending time with locals is the best way to go about this, & has always been a great experience! Thus, I also enjoy doing the same for visitors in my area.
Music, Movies, and Books
Too many to list!
One Amazing Thing I've Done
I could more easily pick a favourite star in the heavens...!
Teach, Learn, Share
I'm willing to play a bit of tour guide, providing local secrets, tips, & recommendations. Information about wildlife (especially birds), nature, conservation, life/biological science, & the beautiful natural surroundings in the area. Fresh, interesting, healthy food recipes. Help with improving conversational language skills in English & Spanish.
What I Can Share With Hosts
Cooking, company, conversation, other social activities. My knowledge of birds, wildlife, conservation, & other amazing nature-related topics. An open invitation to meet up, should they ever travel to my region!
My Interests
Birds, biology, beaches, books, bones, bikes, & being. Adventures of every size, shape, color, & creed.
