ABOUT ME

I am a recent grad from the University of California San Diego with a B.S degree in Mechanical Engineering. My friends would describe me as a down to earth individual who is down for anything. I am the type of person that loves to hike, surf, mountain bike, etc. and very easy to get along with. I love to meet new people and have a habit of making friends at random places starting up random conversations.haha All in all id consider my self a well educated, polite, clean, and willing to try anything type of individual.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2010 Two friends of mine and I drove from Sacramento, CA USA all the way down to the tip of Baja California Sur Mexico stopping at every town along the way. This was an amazing experience.

2011 Drove all around Jalisco, Mexico with my girl friend stopping at Guadalajara, Puerto Vallarta, and many other cities with names I cant remember.haha

2012 My girl friend and I sold all of our belongings to go backpack South America. One month later she became so ill we had to to take her to the ER, she had parasites in her bladder and stomach. Her temperature reached 104 degrees and if it would have gotten even one degree higher she could have fainted. After recovering from this experience she decided this trip was not for her and bought her flight back to the States. I how ever decided to stay and keep pushing to know more and decided to keep going. This has by far been the most difficult experience of my life. I how ever sacraficed so much for this trip that I convinced my self I had to keep going!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn from fellow travelers and people that dont like to live a typical life style. To be more descriptive people that dont follow the typical 9 to 5 routine. However I also enjoy people that have done things I have never done or just people whom have managed to become successful coming from a poor background.
