I am finally living a dream that I had for many years. I quit my job and bought a 1 way ticket to South America!

I am quite active and I love to be outside. At home I spend much of my time rock climbing, snowboarding, and mountaineering- but that's too much stuff to carry on my trip, so for now I'm just trekking through South America 😄

I love music, yoga, deep conversation, and learning.

The serious part:
I am polite, respectful, and always willing to help. I'm very grateful that you would welcome me into your home, and will be the best guest I can be. I am very flexible and up for almost anything.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really enjoy connecting with people. Hostels are fun, but so often they feel insulated from the local people. I want to meet people other than fellow travelers.

Interests

I'm currently working to become fluent in Spanish. I can have simple conversation, but often get stuck because of a limited vocabulary. I'd love to practice more, and help you with your English if you're interested.

I really enjoy cooking with others and learning about new techniques and ingredients.
