I have lived in many places around the US and Chile. I am looking to expand my travel horizons and potentially find a new place to call home. Right now I am enjoying a few months off and wandering around the USA. Last month it was Europe and next month perhaps back to South America.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Staying in someone's home seems to be a more genuine experience than staying in a hostel. I have accumulated too many free maps and stayed in too many dorms. I don't know how it's 2016 and I'm only just making an account.

Interests

Music, Movies, and Books

Impossible to name favorites. I'm fond of Henry Miller and Gary Snyder, the Talking Heads and Curtis Mayfield. My favorite dude to watch on the tube is John Oliver.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Communicated a coherent idea in another language

Teach, Learn, Share

Teaching is dangerous. The (democratic) ancient Greek government sentenced Socrates to death for "corruption of the youth."

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am a good conversationalist (usually), very clean (usually), I make decent banana bread and can pick out a good bottle of wine. I am interested in swapping ideas and have a genuine curiosity about where you live (no matter where you live).

Countries I’ve Lived In

Antarctica, Chile, United States
