CURRENT MISSION

Living it up, chilling out

ABOUT
I'm an artist (portraits in oil are my fav) living in San Miguel De Allende, Mexico, and traveling when i can. I'm crazy about permaculture.

I love to dance, be outside, throw art parties, learn new languages, hunt down local weird food and the best locally brewed beverages wherever I am :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I used to host in a fantastic historic loft in the heart of Galveston's downtown. Surfers brought all kinds of fresh perspectives to our island, and now I'm looking to turn it around and bring these island eyes all over the world to share some fresh perspectives of my own :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My most memorable moments of travel anywhere are those where I find myself alone, surrounded by nature, walking through a trail or a beautiful road the lucky locals take every day. I wonder if people who visit my hometown, a touristy island, feel that way walking down our beach. I think that's what blows me over about traveling, the way it puts you completely present in gratitude for the diversity and beauty you get to see.
