CURRENT MISSION

Aprender Español en Colombia.
Building my roots in San Francisco while traveling as much as possible. Creating beautiful events, experiences, music and objects.

ABOUT ME

I am a friendly, easygoing, fun-loving guy. I am curious about the world and like adventure! Words that could indicate "what I do:" DJ, artist, graphic designer, writer. I'm athletic, energetic, and love talking to new people, as well as making new friends. I'm socially dynamic, though, and am often chilled-out and toned-down.
I'm also very intellectual and appreciate well-informed and educated people.

Here's a video I made from my study abroad in New Zealand in 2011.

PHILOSOPHY

Try new things, respect everyone, live in the moment and enjoy the small things, money does not buy happiness, explore the world, make a positive impact whenever you can. Change happens from within. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surfed in France and had a great time. I'd love to tell you all of my great stories. Can't host at the moment but can't wait to do so.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

2 awesome months in France.

Interests

I enjoy DJing, creating things with my hands (DJ booths, stage designs, etc) reading, writing, making art (drawing, painting, graphic design), listening to music, making music (house music + hip hop, trumpet, french horn) and traveling. I also enjoy playing all kinds of sports, mainly ultimate frisbee, skiing, surfing, longboarding, and I like to bicycle everywhere. I like meeting new people and exploring new places.

Intellectually I'm interested in sociology, psychology, history, art, language, and plenty of other things. I enjoy a good sophisticated and informed conversation.
I often appreciate going below the surface rather than conversing on solely superficial topics.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy most reading, from fiction, non-fiction, to history, biographies, etc. The New Yorker, WIRED magazine, National Geographic.
I enjoy movies and film but would rather have a good conversation than watch a movie with people.
I love making music, love dancing to music, and LOVE listening to electronica, dance, rock, hip-hop, jazz, classical, indie, reggae, etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have lived 32 amazing years of life! Besides that, I have hiked the Abel Tasman coastal track in New Zealand, and completed the Tour de Montblanc, an 11-day walk around the mountain Montblanc in Europe.

Teach, Learn, Share

Skills I can teach: DJing, metalworking, massage, trumpet, french horn, english, basic french, meditation, longboarding, how to swim, how to dive, fashion advice, marketing and branding. I can try to show you how to be a better person, how to be happier, to appreciate what you have, and to enjoy your life more. I try to do this anyways, from day-to-day.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can make you dinner, bring my best energy, and share my perspectives on life :)
