Recently returned from 6 month Antarctica deployment. Feel free to request to stay!

Just a typical human, originally from San Diego, USA but I have spent most of my last seven years of life here in Tijuana. I consider myself fairly adept at overall “living” here, but I am still learning new things every day in this massive city. One thing to be aware of, there’s very little to do aside from partying and seeing the border. To combat boredom, I frequently visit the “Sobreruedas” here. This is a huge underground economy—think “flea market” but much much bigger and more diverse. There’s different one each day in different parts of the city, I usually take couchsurfers to these if it fits my schedule and they’re keen to see something different.

I have been told by multiple people I am "too positive" all of the time. I think having a good attitude and being humble and kind get you far in life. At least for me, I feel I have had really good luck in general and feel grateful for my time on this planet so far.

I don't care who you are, you are welcome in my home. Welcome to eat my food, raid my fridge, take my bed and I’ll sleep on the floor if there’s no other option. You are completely free to feel at home here, and most likely will have a private room to yourself.

My only rules, please bring a good attitude and you must be kind with my neighbors.

One last thing:
I am absolutely against anything in regards to prostitution or strip clubs so please stay with someone else if that’s the goal.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveled with almost no money and no job for about 5 of my adult years :-)
