About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel in the southern world. Alone, but surrounded by potential friends...

ABOUT ME

I am a passionate student pursuing a degree in winemaking. I love science, and my interest in learning new things has pushed me into territories I never imagined.

PHILOSOPHY

If I only scrape a living, at least it'll be a living worth scraping. I strive to live creatively and push the scope of my imagination through experience and passion.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiked the amazing canyons of Zion. Urinated off the side of a mountain from 400ft up. Touched a dolphin while riding a wave. I have a 60 gallon barrel of wine (cabernet) that will be ready to drink in spring 2013.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am willing to help with any English lessons (in exchange for spanish). I'll teach you a magic trick or two. If you have any questions on climbing or surfing technique, I am more than happy to share. I am open to share anything I can that you wish to learn. If all goes well, and you wish to travel to the US, I can recommend some places to stay and who to stay with.
