About Me

CURRENT MISSION
Pursuing education in psychology and kinesiology to try and be better at helping people with their mental and physical health.

ABOUT ME

Born and raised in San Diego. Done a little bit of traveling around the US, Mexico and 3 months in Colombia. I have been a coach, Beach lifeguard, an Emergency Medical Responder/Technician and am now looking for a new career path to help a broader spectrum of people.

PHILOSOPHY

Under the present brutal and primitive conditions on this planet, every person you meet should be regarded as one of the walking wounded. we have never seen a man or woman not slightly deranged by either anxiety or grief. we have never seen a totally sane human being.” Robert Anton Wilson

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I really enjoy bringing people on adventures in San Diego. Going on sightseeing, eating out, checking out music, introducing people to the culture, bars or events.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I’ve hosted over 75 people and have enjoyed every experience. I’ve not used the traveling side as much as I like but I really enjoy being an ambassador to San Diego.

Interests

I like a wide range of physical activity I've done a lot of water polo, surfing, rock climbing, badminton, racquetball, ping pong, boxing, yoga, dancing. I've tried a kickboxing, muay thai, jiu jitsu which I really enjoyed and I looked forward to having more time to do. I enjoy partying, kicking back, reading, watching movies and cooking as well.

Music, Movies, and Books

Try to listen to a bit of everything that has a good message about life or music to party. 🙃
I read a lot of self improvement, psychology, physiology, philosophy, and some history.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I’ve saved over 300 people, dolphins, sea lions, and birds at the beach and on medical emergencies🏥

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach beginning surfers, swimming, boxing, rock climbing, English. I really enjoy bringing people around San Diego for hikes, swimming, concerts, or cool sites around the city. I’m learning Spanish and continually pursuing new education to become a better human.
