Work & Education Ethic
I'm a self employed guy who is always leaning to do new things, such learning guitar, building furniture, labeling in art, and working on motorcycles, I may not be great at all the things I do but I can for sure say I'm decent and can say that I've done it and learned the fundamentals.

Family
I come from a very small supportive and loving family, grew up poor and have been able to preserver as a minority :) I also have 5 cats and they are my babies.

Friends
Way to many from very diverse backgrounds.

What are my Hobbies:
I love hiking on a weekly basis, I live very close to a national park named Yosemite and I have made that park my playground, I love being out doors and meeting others from all over the world during my hikes.

What do I do for fun?
I go to my local coffee shops sip on coffee and socialize with everyone, in the evenings I love playing music in the backyard while making dinner and having a couple beers with great friends and family.

Travel?
I love adventure travel, this year I was backpacking the Andes in Peru and this month I recently hiked the Tour du Mont Blanc through Italy, Switzerland and France

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
