Hello/Hola!

My name is Jesus Garcia. I'm the Senior Graphic Designer for a cloud-based software company called WebPT.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To make some extra money on the side while meeting new people.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: 1984, Animal Farm, The Catcher in the Rye, To Kill a Mocking Bird, Rule of the Bone. I'm currently reading Breathing For a Living: A Memoir.

Movies: I like a lot of movies! It ranges from Alien to Zoolander. I did recently enjoy the look and action of Star Trek Into Darkness and Man of Steel but the major plot holes are really annoying me.

"Off-air" favorites include; Battlestar Galactica, House M.D., In Treatment, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (As far as I'm concerned it's done. It's not the same without Christopher Meloni as Stabler), Seinfeld, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've survived getting hit by car while riding my bike.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach graphic design,

I would love to learn more Spanish but I also want to learn another language or 2. Also learning to code would be practical but learning how to play guitar would be a lot of fun.

I can share some funny stories and life experiences.
