I am from California and currently study at University of California, Irvine as an Exercise Sciences major. I am very adventurous and am always trying to stay active. Some sports I enjoy are futbol and tennis, I also currently train jiu-jitsu and just began muay thai. I have grown up traveling and have always loved trying new things (especially food). If I am going to learn about something I am interested in, I go all out to absorb as much information as I can via research. I am deeply interesting in pharmokinetics, pharmacology, nutrition, exercise, kinesiology, history, mycology, and so much more. At home I am currently working on a clinical study testing new orthopaedic implants (other than being a student).

Music, Movies, and Books

I love every genre of music, but some of my current favorite artists are the strokes, kendrick lamar, rob curly, A$AP Rocky, logic, damian marley, moonchild, sunset rollecoaster, khruangbin. I also love listening to podcasts! Some of my favorites are the Joe Rogan Experience, Hubermann Lab, Lex Fridman, Hardcore History, and Wim Hof’s podcast. Some of my favorite movies are shawshank redemption, princess bride, lord of the rings, star wars, harry potter, grand budapest hotel, and the hobbit! I love documentaries and learning. I have not read many books recently because I would prefer to listen to an audiobook, but am always interested in seeing what other people like to read.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I recently hiked the highest mountain in Morocco, mount Toubkal!

Teach, Learn, Share

Some things I can teach about are nutrition, health, pharmacology, and some jiu jitsu.
I want to learn about everything you are interested in! I am a very fast learner so I (usually) won’t have trouble picking up on anything.
We can share our experiences and perspective and perception of life based on everything we have seen and travelled to. I would also love to share meals, laughs, and any kind of experience!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories, my friendship
I am very organized and clean and will never touch a hosts items without prior permission. I don’t snore and will be very quiet during the night so I do not disturb the host, but if the host wants to hang out, I am all for it!
