CURRENT MISSION To continue the lifelong adventure. ABOUT ME Born and raised in Los Angeles, I just graduated from Cal Poly SLO University. Before I started my university studies in 2011, I took a gap year to see a bit of the world. I took 2 separate backpacking trips to Europe and a three week visit to Australia/New Zealand. Afterwards, I went back to California to study Agricultural Business, took a year abroad in Spain and Argentina, and have just finished. Now I am traveling for 3 weeks before I start my new job.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE So far I´ve hosted an American woman (who lives in South Korea) in my home in Los Angeles and I couchsurfed for a week in Istanbul. I also couchsurfed at a home in Cali, Colombia and Medellin, Colombia... two wonderful experiences! I hope to meet many more people through the Couchsurfing community this summer!
Music, Movies, and Books
Shows: Fargo, Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, Boardwalk Empire, Escape to River Cottage (country cooking show), Fast Food My Way (another cooking show) Books: 4 Hour Workweek (Tim Ferris), Cien Anos de Soledad, Einstein´s Dreams, How to Win Friends and Influence People, Neil Strauss, Catcher in the Rye, and many more
One Amazing Thing I've Done
The most important decision I have made was simply getting up and leaving home to travel. From there amazing things happenned left and right. Budapest, Edinburgh, Lisboa, and Lake Lucerne were some of my many favorite places. I went to the Grand Canyon this summer, Iguazu Falls this March, and am going to see Machu Picchu this summer. It is one of my many goals to see all of the wonders of the world!
