One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Had a chance to live in the coffee región of Colombia for a month and live with coffee farmers. I was able to help cultivate the coffee and learn the traditons and importance within the región.

Teach, Learn, Share

I recently began traveling outside of my country and aquired a true desire to immerse and know other cultures. My goal is to learn from others experiences through traveling and living ,while sharing pieces of my own. My goal is to find, speak, and share with those like minded, different and indifferent.

What I Can Share with Hosts

The understanding that we must live as we please to fullest and to simply not fetishsize over the irrelevant, unimportant, and minuscule

A laugh, music, beer, possibly a room for a night, insight, an ear, love, broken spanish, food, etc.

Countries I’ve Visited

Countries I’ve Lived In
