About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To eat lotsa spicey food, drink muchas mojitos, and smile way to many times.

ABOUT ME

I'm darkly hilarious, absurdly complicated, but

For me, travelling is all about sharing experiences with others. There is nothing I love more than be able to share something great, something fascinating, and something beautiful with other people.

PHILOSOPHY

I just strive to be a nice person. Someone who makes people comfortable, who listens, and who knows how to be generous and giving.

Pretty simple.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I don't want to be a tourist, I want to live in a place and experience it on its terms. I like walking. You see more of the little intricacies of life when you walk the streets.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm very new to this.

Interests

Bicycling, motorcycling, street photography, cooking and eating good food, meeting new and interesting people and going out on the town.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1. The first time I fell in love with someone
2. Swimming out into the Meditteranen at night in Greece, with nothing but the stars overhead.
3. Protesting with thousands of others and shutting down the port of Oakland.

Teach, Learn, Share

My engineering background and my experiences in the past mean I work really well with my hands and can think both analytically and practically. I can cook, fix bikes, and work on cars. I also love rock climbing and hiking.
