I'm taking time off work in Portland, Oregon and am taking some time to explore and enjoy Mêxico.

I'm not in a rush, I want to take my time and get to know the country. I would really like to develop my Spanish speaking , though I'm not quite up to speed to be practicing with native speakers. I want to make friends and seek out Spanish learning resources in Guadalajara, as well as learn more about the local food culture.

I do eat a vegan diet. I love seeking out farmers markets, and eating fresh fruits! Bicycling is my favorite transportation and would be very happy to learn about bicycling in México.
