CURRENT MISSION

Travel and connect with new people

ABOUT ME

Taking a much needed vacation from my studies. I'm super laid back and easy to get along with and love learning about other countries, other languages, and how people around the world live their beautiful, fascinating, amazing lives :)

PHILOSOPHY

"If you knew that you were going to lose your leg tomorrow, would you sit on the couch and cry about it, or would you run, and jump, and do some awesome air kicks while you still could?"

Treat all people with kindness, dignity, and respect.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I had my first Couch Surfing experiences in Hamburg and I had an amazing time (I will never forget riding around the city on the back of a Simson S50 B2). People are so open and generous in the Couch Surfing community and I hope to continue to connect with such fascinating individuals.

I am always very excited for the opportunity to meet new individuals, visit cool places, and exchange ideas/language/culture/stories/laughs.

I believe meeting locals is one of the most important aspects of traveling (they know about the best places to see, the best food, the best places to go out...they know what life in their city is truly like) and Couch Surfing is a great way to facilitate such connections.

Algo increíble que he hecho

I climbed Machu Picchu from 4 am to 6 pm and went to the bathroom only once during that time.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

Always trying to maintain my level of Spanish and improve my German. If you are a fellow lover of foreign languages, we will get along quite nicely :)

I can show you a very distinctive laugh and try to teach you how to play the piano.

I can teach you how to do a headstand.

I can cook you Korean pancakes or some fatty, greasy, unhealthy American food :)

I can also show you how to jump through your own leg, if that sounds cool to you.

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

Good conversation and a fun(ny) time

I can share with you my complete disdain for American politics and our horribly dysfunctional government.
