About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My main objective: get back to London for my flight back home. My secondary objective: visit some lesser travelled cities and meet people as I head north from Barcelona

ABOUT ME

I have many interests but one of my favorite things to do is travel. I love traveling because I enjoy meeting people, sampling food and learning about the history of places. In fact, traveling is one of the only activities I'll skip my afternoon nap for. There is never enough time in each day but I'm grateful for every new city I get the chance to explore. I'm always interested in learning new things and staying away from boring repitition. Recently, I've been trying to challenge myself to do new things and my newest accomplishment is running with the bulls in Pamplona. Looking forward to the next chance to try something new!

PHILOSOPHY

I think that every one is different and has something fascinating to share. With just some time and a simple conversation I think you can learn so much about someone and who they are. I enjoy sharing stories about myself and meeting people who are totally different from me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Not much to say here as I'm quite new to the site. But I love talking to people and just learning about who they are and how they think. I'm a good listener and have some good stories of my own to share.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have not had any couchsurfing experiences yet. But as soon as I learned this site existed, I did have about five friends immediately begin speaking of it as one of the best ideas ever. After going around the dinner table and realizing I was missing out on this great opportunity, I had to create an account.

Interests

SOCCER! Enjoy watching most sports, music, art and the usual stuff but even if I don't enjoy it, I can usually tolerate it for a while as a "new experience". I enjoy cooking and eating very much but only one of those am I really great at.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movie: Matrix, Memento. Music: really most things that are not country or metal. Books: not a big reader but love Holes and Da Vinci Code

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Definitely up there would be running with the bulls in Pamplona. Three years ago I was scared to go on roller coasters so I've definitely challenged myself and broken some boundaries.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have learned a lot in school about Engineering and while I can't really build a bridge or anything, all those random questions you may have about physics or chemistry I could explain really well. Other than that, I'm a good team player and love just working on any kind of puzzle or problem with people.
