One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

All of the Dominican Republic and probably my music concert experiences, especially The Arcade Fire, Death Cab for Cutie, The Shins and Newport Folk Festival.

Hiked in the Pyrenees from Nuria to Queralbs for a day through the rain.

I met Kristian Mattson (The Tallest Man on Earth) and got my picture with him before his concert at the Casino de l´Aliança del Poble Nou. Amazing.

Ran with the devils during Correfoc at Barcelona's La Merce festival.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know quite a bit about weight-lifting, speaking English (American), I can play a little guitar or piano, I know some about recording music and production methods, I can teach you to spin pizza dough (super fun!), and I love recommending music (and receiving recommendations!).

I would love to learn anything! History, geography, languages, cultural differences, fashion, cooking, playing an instrument, photography, how to sail, martial arts...the list goes on!
