CURRENT MISSION To never stop learning, not never stop caring, and to laugh as much as I can ABOUT ME So, I heard about this site through a friend. I'm a little weary because it's just strange to be asking people if I can stay on their couch. What's worse is that it's people who are not even related to me, so I have no guilt to inflict upon them. Anywho, hi. My name is Pedro. I've been having to travel a great deal due to conferences and meetings for work. While my job pays for the travel I really like to stay a few days before/after I go to a conference so that I can explore the city a bit. I grew up in a small city in Mexico and in a a small town in Hawaii and find the amazingness of the world overwhelming at times. I work leading a nonprofit, but have a really avid interest in Theatre and Art. I love music and everything associated with it (you know, singing, dancing, playing instruments, all that stuff). I'm funny (in my head), sarcastic, love to make fun of you, of myself, and of everyone. No one should take themselves too seriously. I cry at commercials that are touching, and sometimes my politeness is mistaken by shyness. I like to be independent but I really like people. Smiley people are the best people. PHILOSOPHY all the crazy things life puts you through are just little tests to make sure you're paying attention.
