Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing to meet the community of travelers who appreciate friendship and immersion in their journeys rather than cookie-cutter, resort experiences. I love to get to know people and their passions and enjoy sharing my love for the history and culture of my neighborhood and city (LT: Dallas, ST: Tulsa, OK!).

Interests

In the concrete jungle: 24-hour coffee shops, reading books, art galleries/exhibitions, museums, restaurant-hopping, indie concerts, finding under-appreciated nooks and crannies of the urban streets.

Further Afield: snow skiing, backpacking, camping, hiking, canoeing/boating

Rich discussion on Latin America, including experiences in culture, cuisine and international relations. Conversations in English or in Spanish!
