I'm from Indianapolis, Indiana. I love travel, meeting people from different cultures, speaking Spanish, exploring new cities, trying new bars and restaurants, economics, and good conversation over coctails or beer.

If I had a life motto, it'd be something like "work hard, play hard, and don't take yourself seriously"

Headed to Medellin, Colombia in the fall—I'm looking for any opportunities to practice my Spanish!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting locals, learning cultural nuances, eating great local food, and meeting new friends. I participated on exchange programs while in school (Barcelona & Buenos Aires) and made life-long friends and "family", and I'd love to keep it up.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach - I can teach you the ins and outs of great coffee. I can teach you how to make fancy pourovers or make the beautiful art on top, or simply give you a lesson on the science of brewing a cup of joe.

Learn - I'm always looking to practice my Spanish. I feel like I've been losing it since I left Argentina.

Share - pints, stories
