I am a bartender and school teacher, speak some Spanish, and climb rocks in my spare time. I like IPA's and quantum mechanics, and have a soft spot for dogs.

Well-mannered and respectful as a guest willing to sleep wherever there are a few cubic feet (meters?) of flat space, and happy to do the dishes.

Interested in the natural world, and eager to avoid the typical tourist traps and traveler's ephemera. Off the beaten path, weird, funky, local, experiences outside the typical or stereotypical.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Here to share new experiences, see more of the world, meet new people, and to connect more with the places I visit during our travels.
