About Me

I'm a person that loves as much of Mexican culture as American because I grew up in a border city. I have a regular job and a foodtruck which is my baby project and keeps me busy.

I enjoy bowling, crafts beers and good food :). Music is also inspiring so I collect LPs, I read constantly and watch crazy amounts of films. I worked in a summer camp in MA back in 09 and it was amazing, learned to cook and kayaking. Backpacked in Europe in 2010, met a lot of good friends in Budapest so is very dear to my heart.

Looking forward to travel and learn from others!
