CURRENT MISSION

My goal is to walk from Jerez to Bilbao, solely on foot! 1,600+ miles depending on the route.

ABOUT ME

Well describing every detail about myself would not only be difficult, but then when you meet me we'd have nothing to talk about! So the basics plus tax. Born in Bilbao, Spain. Moved to Los Angeles, California when I was a year and half old.

Lived there until I was 10ish. Then moved to Madrid where I spent 3 years of my middle school days. Moved back to L.A. again. After graduating high school, I lived in Boston, Massachusetts for college/university. Moved back to L.A. again after for about 2 years, and now I am here in Spain once again.

I am a huge cyclist, and by huge I mean passionate, not size. I'm fairly lean. I write poetry, short stories, screenplays, quips, thoughts. Images always play through my head, which I try to recreate on film (both motion and still).

3 years ago, I had the idea to walk across a country, so here I am now. I've accomplished about 1,000 miles on foot so far with about 600 more planned.

Interests

I spend much of time time cycling. Sometimes I participate in unsanctioned street races (i.e. alleycats). Otherwise I just like to go fast and far. Additionally, I spend my time writing and taking photographs. I enjoy reading and watching films. Beer and whisk(e)y are additionally delightful. With the exception of reading and writing, no matter what I do, I like to do it with others. I enjoy experiences that are shared.
