CURRENT MISSION

Right now I am an English teacher in Santiago Chile, but I am quiting soon to return to the States, where I will have to go back to living with mom and dad for a while. What I need right now is someone to stay with in Buenos Aires for a few nights!

ABOUT ME

Im a laid back dude. Im not very talkative, so dont take that for not liking you or interested. I do like to conversate though, but Im just not a loud person. I love to travel and see the countryside and cities alike. I like the weird places out there, that no one really thinks about. I dont really like crowds, so I hate the subway. What I like best is to be outside and hiking. I'm not a big partyer. I usually feel like going to sleep early but I try to hang in there. Im down for just about anything though, as long as it is not totally ridiculous or impractical. I speak moderate spanish, I can manage

PHILOSOPHY

WEll, do what you can while you can. Live it up, dont be afraid. Hang on to your friends and family. That stuff. Moderation. Honesty

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now I live in an apartment with no furniture, as my roomate broke up with his girlfriend he was living with and she took it all, so I have no couch for you to stay on in Santiago sorry. Also, when I go back home I probably wont either as I will be living with my parents for a while. Unless I can convince them. I am from Fayetteville Arkansas, so it isnt a big tourist destination anyways.

Interests

Anything, and everything. Just not sick shit. I love the outdoors and National protected parks. Geography, hiking, rafting, swimming, reading (non-fiction mainly) some fiction, if its really good. Traveling duh, Latin America, India, Eastern religions, The Mediteranean Sea, Geolocial and Biological history, women, cool people, electronic music, house, cumbia

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Just about everywhere outside of the United States is amazing to me, and some places in USA, like Yosemite Valley, Arches park in Utah, Olympic Park, a tornado, NYC. CHILE!! Torres Del Paine Patagonia, Santiago, Lago Chungara park in the Atacama, San Pedro de Atacama, clibing an active volcano and choking on the sulpur fumes. Pucon, Chile. Machu Pichu, LA Paz, the Inca sacred Valley, Lake Titicaca. Soeul Korea, Seoraksan Park.

Teach, Learn, Share

WEll, always keep up with your important stuff of course. Dont get caught in a shitty situation traveling where it ruins your trip and hard earned money. Dont fall asleep in the Santiago airport or you may get robbed. Keep a smile. Remember where you are. Watch your spending. Im frugal. Dont get completely wasted. Keep your wits.
