I am 31 yrs old and from a mixed background: My father is from the USA and my mother is from Nicaragua. I grew up in many places due to my fathers job, but the vast majority of my life has been spent in Nicaragua. I have been living in Sydney, Australia for a bit over two years now and part of a kickass warehouse family of about 10-12 ppl at any given time. We share a lovely space and everyone does their part to keep the house moving, so you will also be expected to be an active part of our household. I work in hospitality, like having drinks and a smoke and meeting all sorts of peeps. No stuck up politically correct ppl please, we are free thinkers here and don't offend easily.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The house I live in welcomes couchsurfers from all over the world on a weekly basis and it's been really interesting and mostly positive to meet and interact with complete strangers, who perhaps otherwise I would have never met.
I think couchsurfing can be a really exciting way to learn about different people and their cultures :)

Interests

I love movies and music, absolutely love to cook for friends and family. I have a huge soft spot for animals and genuinely try to be kind to everyone. Life is tough enough without people making it tougher, so I believe in respect to a certain extent....sometimes it is hard to say what will offend someone and it is truly impossible to please everyone.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to so many different genres of music that it would be overload to list them all. Fave bands are Interpol, Radiohead, Smashing Pumpkins, but there is always electronic, jazz, rock, chill, hip hop, rap, etc on my playlist

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Opened my own business when I was 21; small cafe in my hometown of Jinotepe. Had it for a bit over 2 years and although it was a real challenge, it was one of the most gratifying experiences of my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm always open to helping someone, but I also believe in trial by error and getting ones own hands dirty before asking for help :)
My favorite things to teach are always cooking related.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A great sense of humor, a love for diversity and culture. If we ever share a roof you will definitely try my cooking-which is bomb :P
I am a tidy person and have had so many roommates at this point in my life, that I have become very tolerant and accepting of others and what makes them different.
