About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To teach English in order to make enough money to get by and learn Spanish

ABOUT ME

I recently graduated and have moved to Costa Rica to live a different life for a bit. I´m here to learn Spanish and make friends. I´m laid back, I´ll always have a drink no matter the time of day.

PHILOSOPHY

I don't have to scavenge for food, water, or shelter anymore, so I'm looking to spend my free time in whatever way I feel. I feel this time is best spent outside, embracing/understanding nature.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I don´t have a set living space yet so am only surfing and meeting people for now. Once I get a job I plan to share my couch if I can.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None. Looking to have my first surfing lesson.

Interests

I like to play fútbol/soccer, ultimate frisbee, volleyball, anything active I guess. Reading is good, drinking is fun, food is delicious, traveling is rad. I'm pretty simple I guess.

Teach, Learn, Share

We live in a globalized world. This is both good and bad. You've got food being imported thousands of miles to places where it's plentiful and good, and other stupid things. What couchsurfing offers is the chance to meet and appreciate people/cultures across the globe. I like the idea of a global community. I think it's a healthy idea.
