About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Find and fund great non-profits.

ABOUT ME

Born in Bolivia, raised in Minnesota and Oregon, traveled in Europe and Latin America. Met many interesting people (very few people are truly uninteresting). Love to learn new things and learn about people.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that life is worth exploring and helping others is fulfilling. Personal development comes from interaction.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We enjoy hosting various surfers and staying with hosts when we travel. CS is a great opportunity and we really enjoy it!

Have both surfed and hosted. Each time has been a valuable time of learning about people and sharing with them. Really fun!
Haven't had an open bedroom for a few years, but will have one in September, 2014.
