CURRENT MISSION

To take the road less traveled...

ABOUT ME
I am currently backpacking in Southern/Eastern Europe, so I apologize if I do not get back to you as quickly.

i work as a world geography and world history teacher at Montgomery High School in Chula Vista. This makes my schedule very busy, but I love to spend time at the beach, and local establishments in my free time.

PHILOSOPHY

Be the change you wish to see in the world.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love reading! I am a big fan of literature and historical fiction. I have recently read, and thoroughly enjoyed, Cannery Row (Steinbeck), as well as The Guide (Narayan.) As for music I love rock, alternative rock, acoustic, and reggae.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the coolest things I've experienced was when I was snorkeling on the big island of Hawaii (in Kona). I was following some cool fish around. While trying to take some pictures with my underwater digital camera, I dove about 10 to 15 feet down and I could hear whales calling to each other in the distance. I later saw them from the boat I was on, but hearing them underwater was awesome.

Teach, Learn, Share

I believe that it is important to understand where we come from, to better understand where we are going.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love to cook! I also love to talk about history, so I can bore you will lots of useless information, if your in to that sort of thing. I love visiting local establishments, and going to different beaches.
