About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Working in the US to get back to Argentina!

ABOUT ME

I was born and raised in the deserts of Arizona, but home is Boulder - in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. I love the skiing, the people, the culture, but I'm out to experience something more for awhile.

Update: I now live in Rye Beach, New Hampshire! I'll be returning to Argentina in July, 2011. Until then...hit me up if you need a place to stay in New England!

PHILOSOPHY

I think that everyone has a story to tell. I try to listen as much as I talk - and learn something from everybody. I'm extremely outgoing - and I love doing things that I've never even thought about doing before. Above all, I always respect other people and their beliefs - even if they're different from my own.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My close friends got me involved in CS before my trip to South America. I'd hung out with CS'ers in Boulder before, but never hosted. CS while traveling has been a great way to make new friends, and share my love of life, music, nature, mountains, skiing, and people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My CS experiences in Buenos Aires and Bariloche have been incredible. Hell, Couchsurfing even introduced me to my current roommate. It's so amazing how quick you get off the "tourist track" by spending time with a local. My CS friends have become more than hosts, and are often the people that I know I can trust in Argentina.

Interests

Mountains, Skiing, Good Beer, Live Music, Nature, Flying (i'm a pilot), Learning Spanish, Chuck Norris, Exploring new cities and meeting new people. I'm "420 friendly."

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I stand in awe of mountains all the time - I once saw a sunrise over a 14,000 ft. (4,200m) peak as the light shined through a snowshower at the top of the peak, rain ahead of us, while standing in blinding sunshine above our campsite.
