CURRENT MISSION

enable meaningful and positive exchanges with all beings I cross paths with

ABOUT ME

I have traveled a lot through Latin America, once to India, and a few times now through Spain. I feel I am open-minded, caring, and laid-back. But I'm passionate about absorbing the culture in the place I am traveling through. I teach Spanish and poetry in California, enjoy the sea and its gastronomical treasures, and observing natural history.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love to travel on a low budget, but contribute to the host by being considerate, sharing resources and travel tales, language, etc. I would like to share the wonderful place I live on the coast an hour north of San Francisco.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Twice a guest, both positive experiences for hosts.

Intereses

Keeping a keen eye on what's going in the moment, like tuning in to the natural elements, flora and fauna, and human interaction which can be quite entertaining. Hiking, swimming in Tomales Bay, kayaking, biking, reading writing but not much arithmetic.
