Music, Movies, and Books

I like just about everything. I know that is an excuse. But it is true.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lived to the age of 36! Holy crap. Also, I survived a crazy car accident. Ask me about it.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am an open book. I want to learn everything. I'm in the market for sharing what I have gathered from the multitude of odd jobs I've done. Alternative education in the USA is something I can talk about for hours.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Laughter, epic (drunk) stories (when I was younger, not really anymore,) respectful, observant, and friendly. Also, I'm super easy to talk to, if you're into that.

Countries I’ve Visited

Canada, Colombia, Germany, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, Philippines, Portugal, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, Viet Nam
