About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To entice naive travelers into my home, fatten them up, and sell them restaurant quality cookware for an exorbitant fee

ABOUT ME

Open minded, incredibly serious one moment, frustratingly not the next.

I'm a very helpful, loyal and friendly type guy, the kind who would give you his bed while he slept on the couch.

Don't quote me on that.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I don't at the moment, this is fairly new on my radar, I put up my couch at my former residence but am unable to do so for the moment...

I'm interested in participating more fully in the future, I LOVE meeting new people with different perspectives on life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been gassed at point blank by chilean fascist police at least 3 times.

Teach, Learn, Share

I think often times what we have to teach is subjective to the company we are in. I could be a great teacher to some, less so to others. So in the end, I wish to simply be the best of myself and be as able and free to offer that as I can.

Oh yeah, and I can teach you how to drive a stick if you need.

Countries I’ve Visited

Argentina, Canada, Mexico

Countries I’ve Lived In
