I am a collection of organic molecules called Manny. Born and raised in Southern California, I’m currently residing in Portland, Oregon. Over the last thirteen years I have lived in Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, New York City, and now Portland.

I'm a bit of an ambivert - I love to be around people who's company I enjoy, but I also find bliss in solitude. I don't go out much unless there is a reason to, and spend most of my time making music, watching/studying great films and directors, reading, cooking, or geeking out on audio production gear and techniques.

Lately, my creative energy has been manifesting through music (I play guitar, bass, piano, and drums), but I'm also a photographer, and I will die trying to make feature films from stories I have written.

I have bartended in the craft cocktail scene for the past fifteen years. There was a time when I also worked in the freelance world as a photographer, videographer, and in cinema production. I hated it...

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

While living in Los Angeles over a decade ago, my housemate would host people from Couchsurfing.com and it was a great. I have hosted people over the past few years, and would love to continue having a living room culture clash experience.
While traveling I would love to connect with locals that have similar interests and good vibes to share moments in time.
