I'm Chicano. From Santa Ana, California originally now living in San Francisco.
One of my favorite places I've visited: Varanasi, India.

I enjoy playing handball (wall-ball) kayaking, composting, and cooking.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To make friends, share stories, cultural exchange, and make some awesome memories!

Hacer amigos, compartir historias, intercambio cultural, crear memorias bien chidas :)
I think it is always cool to share different online tools that can be useful to others.

Interests

Cooking - writing- doing some blogging. Trekking- anywhere anytime! Kayaking. Gardening. Volunteering
I owned and operated a small composting business using a triple impact model to create the right nutrient rich soil for community gardens-- it was a small failure that I am sure will help me recreate something greater in the future. For now the power of the pen is my focus, in order to make my community garden impacts in different communities much faster and scalable!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Fundraised +$3k while backpacking in Ecuador due to 7.8 earthquake. Used the funds to purchase a variety of materials: canned food, cooked food, beds, electrical equipment, toys, hygiene products.

I have been housesitting for nearly a year living nomadically in the bay area.

Teach, Learn, Share

Anything that comes up in conversations. I speak like a river, at least I like to think!

What I Can Share with Hosts

food, keeping a clean house, drinks, travel tips, and good vibes.

Oh! Making tamales, sopes, and tortillas a mano tend to always be well received. Mind you tamales takes 3-4 hours haha
