CURRENT MISSION

Solidarity.... and music!

ABOUT ME

Easy going and nerdy sense of humor. My wife is an elementary art teacher and I'm a high school Spanish teacher. We love summer because it gives us time to chill after 40 weeks of school.

PHILOSOPHY

Not a religious person, but camels are cool animals. "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Up to now, only with friends, friends of friends, and the occasional complete stranger in Mexico, Guatemala, and Cuba.

Interests

My wife and I love to cook. Since my wife is Puerto Rican, we cook a lot of Caribbean dishes and dabble in just about every other kind of food. We like to walk, listen to great live music, and take it easy in our rare moments of spare time. We volunteer at Workers' Dignity, a worker center, and pride ourselves in getting involved in social justice.
