CURRENT MISSION

Fortune cookie: Good company in a journey makes the way seem shorter.

ABOUT ME

I like to have jobs that are better than most people's vacations. Life is better when lived out of a backpack or car.

There's something about mountains and the desert that capture my imagination more than anything else. So now I know where I need to go.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've met a number of surfers for dinner and hosted one. I have yet to surf on someone else's couch, but that day may come soon.

音乐、电影和书籍

I love movies and I'll watch almost anything. My favorite bands are Muse and The Killers, although I listen to mostly American rock, pop and the random Paraguayan reggaeton that I hear whether I want to or not. I love reading and my current favorites include Harry Potter, His Dark Materials and Bill Bryson's A Walk In The Woods.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Reaching the summit of a 14,000 foot mountain feels like you're on top of the world!

教，学，和分享

I make awesome homemade peanut butter. Take some peanuts (however many you want) out of their shells and roast them for a while (I only have a gas stove, so time and temperature is completely arbitrary). When they're slightly browned, take them out and remove the thin papery shell. Throw them in a blender and blend until you reach your preferred crunch level. Add a tiny bit of corn syrup or oil (I use less than a 1/2 tablespoon for 500g) so it sticks together better and blend for a little bit longer. All told, you probably don't need to blend for more than 3-5 minutes. Add salt, sugar, honey, etc to your taste, but it's a lot healthier and still delicious without extras!
