CURRENT MISSION To experience central and south America...live it up...make mistakes and learn from them...challenge myself and others. To love and make an impact!! ABOUT ME That I´m a great friend. I´m honest, loyal and always there for them. I have a great sense of humor/personality, and even though I can be a little too direct, they love me even more. I am opened minded and I LOVE to travel and get to know new people, cultures, customs, etc. I am very community orientated, so everywhere I go, I try to get to know the local customs, volunteer when possible, just check out the everyday things of the local community. I am always wandering about, trying to find the next adventure. PHILOSOPHY First try it before you knock it....well, everything except heroin (j/k). Right now, I live my life to figure out what the hell to do with my life. At this moment, I have never felt as strong, beautiful, or as free as any other moment in my life. I am enjoying every experience.....good or bad. Bring it...because I am!

Music, Movies, and Books
Favorite movie of all time...don´t judge....ROCKY. I can watch all of the Rocky movies day in and day out...As for music, I am open to all types, but what I really groove to is R&B, soul, rock and roll, oldies, reggae, rock en Español, funk, jazz, electronica, hip hop, cumbia...tu sabes!!! As for books, I´m a sucker for mystery.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
The Easter processions in Antigua, Guatemala. I have never seen so many people dedicated to their faith, absolutley incredible. Sunset in Xpuja, a beach between Playa del Carmen and Tulum, Mexico. The most beautiful beach I have ever been in my life...amazing!! When I quit my job, the last day we had a going away party. I was so profoundly humbled and thankful for all the love that was expressed for my work in the community of San Diego. I did not realize how much I impacted their lives....I was so happy and proud to have worked as a community organizer.
My Interests
Community, art, education, family, travelling...freedom. When I am not working, I like to partcipate in community theatre, any local festivals, sport activities, or even just hanging out and barbequeing with friends.
