CURRENT MISSION

Cheap wine, good stories. Also to speak conversational Spanish without soundling like a scared robot.

ABOUT ME

I'm a student at New York University studying film theory and Spanish. Despite this I don't generally like pretentious cinema, nor do I grasp some of the finer points of conversational Spanish, but I love movies, and talking, and talking about movies. I also love to talk about food, music, and where to find the cheapest cañas in town.

I once tried to open a bottle of wine with nothing but my house key and a shoe (it didn't really work).

PHILOSOPHY

"I find it harder and harder every day to live up to my blue china." -Oscar Wilde

Never take yourself too seriously.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One time I caught a fish while I was reeling in my line. It was pretty awesome.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn about cities from locals. I also just like to learn about peoples' lives and perspectives.
