My partner and I currently live in Guatemala City, she works for the U.S. government and I am running a small import company focused on socially, environmentally, and financially sustainable agricultural trade. We both graduated with master's degrees in international law and economics, we're passionate philosophizers, readers, hikers, beer/coffee drinkers, cyclists, environmentalists... in general we love life.

We're both minimalists and I always have my camping pad with me. If you've got a 3x6 ft space at your place, it'll sleep like a 5-star hotel.

Let's have a good conversation, drinks are on me!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A host and a traveler, I love the community.

Interests

I have a passion for economics and governance, specifically social architecture, ecology, and group dynamics, but I'll never pass up on a good science discussion whether that be physics, chemistry, biology, you name it. Beyond this, I can spend hours in the wilderness, love cycling, and appreciate a good beer.

Music, Movies, and Books

All genres of music, not a big movie guy, and books... I love to read and I don't find myself following any particular trend.
