ABOUT ME
I quit my job at an investment bank to go back to graduate school, but I decided I'd rather spend my cash on travel than grad school tuition. At some point I will have a blurb that sums up my life, but not right now.
PHILOSOPHY
Still working on it.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Until now, mostly meeting people through couchsurfing to go out for coffee or drinks, or see the city. I've been a member for a while but didn't really use it until I got to colombia.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I've met some really cool, friendly people and a few good friends that I still talk to almost daily. So far I've had nothing but excellent experiences.
Interests
Sports, seeing new places, learning spanish, reading, doing stuff with friends...standard stuff. I played the drums for years but they wouldn't fit in my backpack so they are at home, and I'd like to teach myself a more reasonable-sized instrument like mandolin or guitar. I seem to always find other things to do though...
