CURRENT MISSION

I want to meet people that make my heart, my soul, and my intellect skip a beat. I want to find friends and a romantic partner. Above all, I want to connect with other folks and learn from those connections.

ABOUT ME

Hi! I'm a 25-year-old Latino born and raised in Southern California. I graduated in May 2010 from University of California-Berkeley with a Bachelor's in History. After living abroad for awhile after graduation, I'm back home working as a restaurant server. But I'm ready to move on to the next stage of my life. I'm making the jump on March 5th: moving to beautiful San Francisco! Let's see where the adventure takes me.

PHILOSOPHY

There's nothing more important in this life than love, friendship, and family.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've soared the skies of the Spanish countryside on a paramotor. Don't know what that is? Here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQEkguKd-tE (note: I'm not ANY of the guys in this vid, but I do know some of 'em).
I've felt on top of the world while climbing the Dune du Pylat in France's Atlantic coast city, Arcachon.
I've swam by myself in the crystal-clear and beautiful but isolated beaches of the Greek island of Agkistri. Oh, what peace one can attain.
