About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I am a 33 year old guy from Los Angeles. I have a wide range of interests including exploring different cultures through cuisine and language, reading, art (prefer modern/pop art), music (everything from indie rock to nu-disco), cycling (indoor, outdoor, and unicycling!), and meeting new people.

PHILOSOPHY

"Vertigo is anguish to the extent that I am afraid not of falling over the precipice, but of throwing myself over." - Satre

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I bought a car on eBay for $260 to learn to drive stick-shift.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you're pragmatic, I could help you study for the GMAT as I did fantastically test (scored in the 99th percentile) or help you learn American English or German. If you'd like to teach me something, I've been trying to learn Arabic and would love to get some tips about the language.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I won't have much with me, but if you come to Berlin (or LA if I'm there), you'll certainly have a couch to surf on.
