I'm Brett, originally from Nevada, but I've lived in a couple states and a couple countries in Latin America. I absolutely love to travel and experience new cultures.

I've had the opportunity to travel to Mexico, Peru, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Panama, Spain, Southern France, Italy, Ecuador, Bulgaria, Turkey, Greece, New Zealand, Bolivia, Grenada, and South Africa. Most trips were just for quick touristy vacations or work trips, but my time in Costa Rica was for study abroad. I got to live there for four and a half months and it was the best time of my life... definitely looking to get back there!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm currently living in Ecuador and I'm learning how important and how awesome the traveling community is. I want to be a part of that, however I can help.

En ese momento estoy viviendo en Ecuador y estoy aprendiendo cuan importante y cuan chévere es la comunidad de viajeros. Quiero ser parte de esa comunidad en cualquier manera que pueda.

Interests

I really enjoy hanging out with people. Although I'm an introvert, I do like having good conversations and swapping stories and seeing what I can learn from others. I also enjoy programming, yoga, web design, hiking, swimming, and Latin dance!

Aunque soy introvertido, disfruto pasar tiempo con otras personas. Me gusta charlar, contar y escuchar historias, tomar un cafecito, y ver lo que se puede aprender de los demás. También me gusta la programación, la yoga, el diseño web, el senderismo, la natación, y la salsa y bachata!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the most amazing things I've done is ziplining in Monteverde, Costa Rica. After hitting up some of the shorter lines and nearing the end of our tour, we were able to go on a quick tarzan swing followed by the last line... one that was over a half-mile long over the rain forest. Pure bliss.

Una de las cosas mas chéveres que he hecho era canopy en Monteverde, Costa Rica. Después de practicar en unos canopys cortos, al final hicimos uno que era unos 900 metros en distancia! ¡Qué emoción!
