CURRENT MISSION

I seek the shock that other cultures provide, down my spine, hard core raging. My mission is to be impulsive, unexpected, and keep up a sense of adventure.

ABOUT ME

I am 24, I study art history, why I cannot remember. I come from the Mojave desert, I love the heat but find the SF Bay Area to be paradise. I have an affinity with Catholic countries without being staunchly religious, and one day I want to visit the core Middle East - where so much history, religion and culture draws its roots from. I LOVE communal living. I live in a student co-op in Berkeley, a crazy house of 50 people, which has thoroughly and permanently altered my sense of reality.

PHILOSOPHY

Change is never bad. And I ALWAYS act on my impulses, more often than not they steer me in the right direction.

Interests

I like foreign languages, wish I knew them all, biking, coffee, reading, swimming in the ocean, hiking through narrow valleys toward high vista points, discovering new cuisines, taking risks and learning from them, co-operatives of all sorts...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I stayed with a group of anarchists in New Orleans last Christmas. We gutted houses, bitched about local, state, national and global politics, went to podunk bars at night, and gutted more house the next day. Full body armor, face masks and whatnout, black mold was no match for us. That poor city, a war zone in need of attention.
