Back in Seattle! (wait nvm, not back in seattle)

I was recently on a trip i've dreamed about for 5+ years: riding a motorcycle from BC, Canada to Argentina and later hopefully head to Southeast Asia.

I'm pretty laid back, easy going, and all those good things. I generally like to avoid any serious plans/deadlines to keep myself available for those once in a lifetime last minute opportunities. I thrive on improvised plans, mini-trips, weekend getaways and dancing like no ones watching. I think repetition takes it's tole on creativity.

Born in California, educated in North Idaho, crossed into adulthood in Spain and have lived in seattle ever since. I feel like i'm from none and all of those places.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

Come visit Seattle! I make an excellent tour guide if you're not afraid of getting a little bit lost.. or a little bit drunk. Fiesta!

Everyone so far has been extremely kind, generous, open and trusting.

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

My favorite movie as of right now, unsurprising, is Motorcycle Diaries.

Music: It really depends on the day or who I'm with. Calm music, dance music, rap music, folk music, blues, electronic music.. just not country music.

As far as books I enjoy historical novels, philosophy, and anything sailing related.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

I woke up on a beach in southern France one morning to a beautiful red and gold sunrise surrounded by close friends.

Improvised an abandoned rooftop dance party in Madrid.

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

My Spanish is getting a little rusty at the moment but still very conversational if anyone wants to practice. I taught English for 6 years and happy to teach non native English speakers. I can also teach sailing knots, chess, and other boat related crafts.

I have an extra helmet and can show you the city via motorcycle. I think it's kind of crazy how many people have never ridden one. They are a totally different perspective to transportation.

Ce que j'aimerais partager avec mes hôtes

A few horrible puns, fun stories, Spanish cuisine, motorcycle rides, and genuine enthusiasm.

If you have a 4 legged pet, I make nautical boat leashes and would be happy to make you one :)
