I am traveling thru San Diego, a place that I instantly have fallen in love with and I came with the intention to network for a job. I am a merchant mariner expert in Port and Maritime Cargo operations, but my true passion is the micro-brewed beers, a fascinating wold of flavors and craft which I study, have brewed and continue learning all about. I am very passionate to the point of intending in setting up a bar perhaps in Baja and to do craft beer tours in SoCal. I love to talk about beers and share them. I am also interested on doing the Brewing Certificate in UCSD where they actually accepted my merits to do the program. I have studied quite a bit about hindu Advaita Vedanta and Zen buddhism. I used to live in Amsterdam for 5 years and I still have my own house there. Thank you, :-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet conscious, fun people and caring about our surroundings, with a great story or tale to tell. Witty, insightful, deep or somewhat shallow, but altogether people who feel grateful to be in this dance of life.

Since I am fairly new in Couchsurfing here is my airbnb profile where I have tons of reviews: https://www.airbnb.com/users/show/5859625

Interests

I am interested in doing the Brewing Certificate in UCSD where they actually accepted my merits to do the program. I love nature, the ocean and respect deeply and observe the subtleties of life and their spiritual meaning.
I enjoy swimming in the beach or in the pool. Dancing at people's home parties while playing awesome music is something I truly enjoy. Perhaps even singing in karaoke or in any spontaneous guitar session
I love life' synchronicities and spontaneous acts of kindness and wonder.
