About Me

CURRENT MISSION Hike up things, swim, perfect cooking over a campfire. Meeting new people. ABOUT ME I really enjoy traveling (I think we all do). I'm always up for an adventure. Hiking up a mountain.. making the right bad decisions

I’m equally happy staying up all night camping in partying in the desert or waking up at midnight to start hiking and summit a peak.

PHILOSOPHY Enjoy life and make solid connections with friends. Work hard play hard.

Living in San Francisco. I finally have space to host guests! I can show you around as my schedule allows. I enjoy bike riding and have a spare. We can ride across the Golden Gate Bridge from my house.

Triple vaccinated.

Hace pocos anos fui al Mexico y me encanta. En 2020 me quedé en Argentina y Chile para 3 semanas. Este viaje me inspiró a aprender espanol mejor. Ahora usando un tutor en linea a aprender y estoy feliz a decir estoy mejorando.

Me gustan subir montanas, andar con bici, y también tomar caguamas y bailar.

Recibí tres vacunas.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like some television but haven't had cable tv in years. I seen enough from the computer.
Fantasy and Sci Fi books. My Star Wars knowledge is a expansive.

Already talked about music quite a bit.

Classic rock is my relaxing music usually.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was a US National park service ranger in the bush of Alaska. Supplies only came in by airplane or boat. I brewed beer because the air freight cost was insane. I used the spent grain to make really good bread.

Viviendo en Alasaka para un verano cuando estaba trabajando en un parque nacional. Katmai NP. Es muy famoso para los osos Grizzly. Mi vida fue muy diferente. Nunca fui a un ciudad todo el verano.

Teach, Learn, Share

Well the best travel tip I have is for booking flights.
When you know the airport you wish to use look it up on wikipedia. There is a list of all the airlines and destinations they go to.
This way you can avoid using 3rd party services who will take a cut and don't have to go through a million airlines to find what you need.
This helped me save a ton on my current travels and discovered Tiger Airlines something I would of had no idea about $50 Australian flights vs if I would of gone with Qantas (the only one I knew for Australia $100+.

^ for fares this tip is a bit outdated with all the flight finding website available now . However I do find it useful when looking for direct flights.

Hope this helps
