ABOUT ME

Well, I've traveled all throughout the United States, and I've been living and working in Barcelona Spain for the past 3 years. My hobbies include sitting on cafe terraces people-watching, laughing at very inappropriate times, and walking and listening to music with earphones on imagining myself to be the lead guitarist.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was in Nevada, I was walking through a residential neighborhood when I discovered a lake. I sat down to look at it for a while and the sun was setting in such a way that reflected the light off the surface of the water. For about 15 minutes I was convinced I was looking at a lake of light.

Teach, Learn, Share

When you first meet someone, keep your mouth shut and eyes and ears open.
Always carry a lighter, even if you don't smoke.
Don't eat the yellow snow!
