About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Be blinded by the universe.

ABOUT ME

Just a random list of things about me: I am a true film geek. My projects tend to be music videos and documentaries. I like them to focus my on things that deal with people, passion, culture, and social/ environmental justice. I love groovy music I can dance to wildly although I am awful at it. I also listen to a lot of indy music but really I am open to a wide range of genres. I enjoy reading science fiction novels, specially those by the master satirist Kurt Vonnegut ♥. I sometime cheat on my car with my bike and traveling is what I hope to do the most of for the rest of my life. Hi :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am looking for an unforgettable CS experience where I can meet like-minded people who are as passionate and crazy about traveling and learning as I am.

Interests

Music, yummy cookies, traveling, spicy anything (I can hardly travel without my salsas), intentional bad dancing, film, photography, reading, writing, biking, meeting new people and learning about other cultures.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to sew, how to make jewelry by knitting with beads, how to make delicious Mexican salsas, and I can help you practice your Spanish.
