I'm a Mexican American guy born to immigrant parents, and blessed to have been raised bilingual with a strong tie to my Latin american culture. I just recently graduated from university and am working, but have hopes and dreams for something far beyond the work place.
I strive to be someone that listens well, is inclusive, and is able to create a comfortable space for others.

Interests

Of course music and reading and drawing and nature and all that good stuff!

But for the last couple of years, I've been completely immersed in learning about natural building and sustainable design. My hope is to turn this interest/hobby into a living eventually!
Related - industrial design, furniture design, making and creating cool THINGS!

Also, seeing live music. Always, any day.

Music:
- Bands: Khruangbin, The Growlers, Sticky Fingers, Chicano Batman, Toro y Moi, and many others!
- Artists: Bonobo, JamieXX, DJ Koze
- House/Disco/Soul/Techno music has been my latest obsession, I could go on and on. Currently in the process of learning how to DJ.... its hard

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've feel very fortunate to have been able to do these things:

- Skydiving! (several times, i love it)
- Mountain biking down a volcano in Ecuador
- Snowboarding on a volcano in Chile
- Backpacking in Patagonia - in all honesty ... probably the most incredible experience of my life so far
- Attended an Indigenous Culture gathering in South America
- The Salkantay Trek through the mountains of Peru

And hopefully many, many more experiences to come!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Well I'm not going to pretend like I'm going to drop some crazy wisdom on you. To be completely truthful, I'm just looking for some good and simple human connection. Skip past the formalities and the small talk, lets get to know each other and explore our aspirations and philosophies of the world. Interactions like that are what I live for!
