About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Just walkin' the Earth like Caine in Kung Fu. Viajo por ir, no por llegar!

ABOUT ME

I’m a full-time nomad, but it says I live in Austin because that’s the last place I lived and hosted in the USA (and the last place I had a CS postcard sent to)

PHILOSOPHY

No sueñes tu vida, vive tus sueños!!

We will never remember anything by sitting in one place waiting for the memories to come back to us of their own accord! Memories are scattered all over the world. We must travel if we want to find them and flush them from their hiding places!
-Milan Kundera (The Book of
Laughter and Forgetting)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

surfed and hosted a bunch. used to coordinate LOTS of events in the CS group in Austin once upon a time

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It really changed everything for me, and is still my favorite way to travel. But I gotta say, it's getting harder and harder to find hosts or even get a response back these days :/ Many of my closest friends I met through CS, so I've still got a lot of nostalgic love for it!

Interests

Getting lost in cool places, hitchhiking, live music, reading realllly long books, craft beer, skiing, playing my acoustic guitar as poorly as possible, running, ultimate frisbee, jumping in the sea, eating exotic and spicy foods, hiking, trivia, old movies, SpaceX, game nights - and I'm an assassin at Goldeneye 64 ;)

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Miyazaki, Kubrick, Leone, Kurosawa, Tarkovsky, Wilder, Tarantino, etc, etc…

Books: Shantaram, 1Q84, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Slaughterhouse Five, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, Cosmos, The Dark Tower series...

Music: Jeff Buckley, Faith No More, Miles Davis, Ben Harper, Radiohead, The Stones, Chris Stapleton...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I experienced magical realism in Macondo. Seriously.

Walking the Camino de Santiago.

I don't know. Too many things to list! We have all done amazing things. Ask me that question when we meet and we'll share some stories :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you to travel cheap (or free) and how to do polyphasic sleep.

There is SO much I want to learn! for example: how to cook!, play the guitar better, French, spanish conditional haha... anything new really

What I Can Share with Hosts

What I have is yours. Pick my brain.
