How does one begin to talk about himself? I'd say I'm a pretty stellar individual. I am in between my bachelor's degree which was obtained at the University of California Berkeley and am currently lined up for a Masters in Behavioral Science in Chicago (come visit once I'm there!). There isn't much I don't like or at least will not try nor what I'm willing to talk about.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I just finished my service with the Peace Corps in Senegal, West Africa and I am travelling a bit before finally going back home to that good ol' Cali Sun.

Interests

I absolutely love playing music, writing, playing tennis, frisbee (any form), bouldering, cycling, eating good food -not much I don't like and seeing that I'm a Peace Corps Volunteer any unique experience to me is welcomed! Oh yeah, and I love card games!

Music, Movies, and Books

I've been on a hard Ali Farka Touré vibe lately, but am also into Tallest Man on Earth, Habib Koité, Kendrick Lamar, Darkstar, Yelle, and so much more. My favorite book is a collection of letters from the poet Rainer Maria Rilke, and my favorite movie? Right now I'd say La Haine by Mathieu Kassovitz.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Stole Cheeze-It crackers from a baby bear cub after chasing it for over half a mile.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach guitar, a West African dialect, ways of the universe, magic card tricks, etc. I'm willing to learn ANYTHING. There isn't much I'm not willing to share.
