I've been wandering around North, Central and South America off and on for years now, and finally decided to give Couchsurfing a shot. I'm quiet but friendly and know lots of stupid jokes that may not translate to Spanish very well. Pretty good about doing the dishes and buying beer. I'm going back to school this fall, but I'll be travelling until then.

My Spanish is a work in progress... I enjoy practicising if you have the patience.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
