I grew up in Southern California but now call Mexico home. A few times per year my wife and I will travel back to California (where I'm from) or Peru (where she's from) to visit friends and family and because our work is done mostly remotely, we're able to work anywhere.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've loved traveling internationally since I made my first trip to England at 17 years old. A few years after that, I backpacked around Europe with two of my best friends and met some amazing people and enjoyed experiencing different cultures. Being on Couchsurfing is just an extension of that.

Teach, Learn, Share

I don't totally understand what goes in this section. If I were able to teach other couch surfers something it would be internet marketing or help with their websites etc. I'd love to practice and learn more French and Spanish or how to cook certain international food dishes.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a reasonably well-educated and well-travelled American with, what I hope, some consider to be a more worldly view than many of my compatriots. But I guess everyone assumes that about themselves so who knows?
