Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Make Stockton a hub for climbers between tahoe, yosemite and the bay.
ABOUT ME
Moved to Stockton, Ca from New Jersey. My focus right now is on school without going into too much debt. End goal is engineering but I have far too many interests to make that a straight path. My first pursuit was horticulture since I want to be fully self sufficient. Eventually I want to open a charter school with more of a divergent approach to learning. So hopefully engineering will let me learn a little of everything and the know how to tie it all together. I work nights to attend school during the day.
So far I've met some amazing people in my life and I dont want that to ever end. I do like strangers but I want to get to know people and make memories we can look back on and laugh about later. I truly think our relationships are essential to our growth. Anyone can connect for a short time but it takes work to maintain a lifelong friendship.
Right now I live in a school bus to be able to afford traveling and going on adventures. It's a work in progress and has taught me so much about not just building but myself. I aim to live as minimally as possible.
Dont worry, I travel in my little old car.
PHILOSOPHY
I used to be all crazy philosophical but I have learned to appreciate the simpler things in life.

Teach, Learn, Share
I dont think I'm educated enough to teach yet. Willing to learn everything and anything. I can share new experiances, time, my past, my ears, dinner, anything I really have to offer...
What I Can Share with Hosts
Climbing trips and weird music in a house on wheels... plus some pour over coffee.
