Although I am new to Couch Surfing, I like most "Surfers" I am an adventurous people person who loves to travel and experience new cultures.

I have been living in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico for the past year, after making a switch from Digital Marketing in Dallas TX, to the non-profit world, and currently manage a NGO called Via Organica focused on developing regenerative agriculture in Mexico. I have roots, family and friends in El Paso, Houston, New Orleans and Dallas, having spent about equal time in all 4 cities.

I am a nature and culture lover in that order. From the day I could walk, I have been chasing, observing and seeking out all things nature and outdoors related, and generally find a way to experience a little bit of the great outdoors no matter the city I find myself. When it comes to culture, I am big into food and art and will generally seek out innovative new restaurants and museums when arriving to a new city.
