Used to work in the mining industry as a geologist- gold exploration; currently trying to take some classes and transition into Materials Science field.

I like getting caught in desert rain, petting dogs, and eating tacos made out of scorpions(true story).

I AM NOT INTERESTED IN ANYTHING SEXUAL/ROMANTIC.

My only regret is that I have but one life to give for Gondor.

My friends have told me about some pretty cool connections they have made through CS and I wanted to see for myself.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Eat an entire box of Oreos in one sitting. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Teach, Learn, Share

I can talk about what it is like to work as an exploration geologist and Spanish language and Latin culture. I like parkour and will teach what I know to those willing to learn. I am okay at climbing and I am good at botany/forestry in the states.

Honestly, I am a little too experimental to be a top notch chef, but I love eating yummy dishes and can teach you how to make enchiladas! Also, uneducated masses making guacamole with spice packets, HAVE NO FEAR! I can teach you how to make real, authentic guacamole(honestly, it is really simple) that's so good, you'll never want to buy spice packets/store made guacamole again.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Hikes, city exploring, late night ramblings, etc. I used to be a part time backpacking/climbing guide throughout uni so I have many entry/wannabe mountaineer stories, i.e. I attempted climb up highest mountain in lower 48 states in winter.

My real claim to fame though? I once ate a ghost pepper and kept a straight face.
