CURRENT MISSION

Trying to create memories worth remembering

ABOUT ME

I'm a native San Diegan, web designer, pescetarian, animal lover and cinephile, among other things.

When I was in high school, I was good at science and thought I wanted to be a forest ranger. After two years of college, I realized I wasn't made for science and studied communication, focusing on videography and cultural issues. Graduating in '95, travel's been a way to keep learning about life and myself since then.

PHILOSOPHY

Pretty much the same as my mission. I'm here to live life consciously and make as much truth out of it as possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was in Costa Rica I saw a juvenile tapir sleeping in a hollow. It was an amazing-looking animal.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have been involved with design and media for over 15 years, so I am pretty knowledgeable about photography, computers, web design and video, to some extent. I am familiar with some nutritional concepts, since I try to eat ethically and avoid (to my best ability) factory-farmed meat. I have a good memory for movies, actors, directors, etc. Mostly, I'm a thoughtful person and a fairly adept conversationalist.
