About Me

Que tal? I’m trying out the app after a few years away, and I’m excited to hang with everyone, start going to the meetups again, and just generally get back into the scene! I’m doing a long Latin America trip and I’m keen to improve my Spanish and learn as much as I can about every place I visit!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet interesting people and learn more about the cultures and communities I visit than I would staying in a hostel.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love classic psychedelic rock, grunge, deep house, and folk music, and vibe with some of the classic movies like Easy Rider and Apocalypse Now, or anything directed by Villeneuve, Tarantino and Del Toro.
My favourite novel at the moment is Station Eleven, but I loved the Wayfarer series, Night Circus, and The Dispossessed. For non fiction I’m really into Camus, Foucault and Bookchin.
