About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I will become a comic book artist. I'm halfway there. I want to get paid for it full time though, and make enough money to survive on that while bringing me to different cities and hopefully, even, different countries.

ABOUT ME

I just keep expanding and growing...but not in a physical sense. I like creativity and individuality.

I draw a lot and play a lot of music. You can find me @albino_rhino_pile on Instagram.

I like really cheesy humor and sometimes, depending on how I'm feeling, I like to go for a run. AND! I rock climb. I love to see other people's creativity. I think when you see someone's creative mind, whatever it may be..you start to really understand a person, and that is a connection all in itself.

Life is...so go for it. Be simple. Be truthful, be honest, and show respect.

Create yourself, do it because you love it, and if you need to get up and walk away, come back to it when you're ready to take your time.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Skydived, Scuba dived in Surigao and Moalboal, 10,000 feet above the world and 40 meters below sea level! Hiked Mount Apo, Hiked Mount Washington, Three days around Banaue and Batad, every time I walk in the woods is worth remembering and everyday I get to see a new day.

Teach, Learn, Share

Don't make too many plans, because then you can't miss anything. I'm a decent cook, and I can help you with your guitar technique, unless you can help me with mine.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My house is a space. It's basically like an American bungalow. I have one bed, and no couches. I eat meals on the floor (I have a floor covering, I'm not a savage, okay?!). There are places for you to sleep on the floor as well. I will sweep the "table" so you can sleep comfortably. It's doable. It's definitely not luxurious. Also, I probably won't leave you here alone while I work...and I work a lot, unfortunately (for both of us). Get in touch if you're actually still interested in this.
