CURRENT MISSION

Being good

ABOUT ME

I'm an easygoing dude with eclectic tastes. I'll try anything twice. Love to meet new people (it's part of the reason I wait tables and tend bar). I make friends pretty easily and then I'm loyal to a fault. Love good beer, good wine, good food, and good times.

PHILOSOPHY

Try everything twice. They might have messed up the first time, you never know.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Nothing but good. I had a fantastic time in Guadalajara almost entirely predicated on Orlando and friends being so cool. Also just CSed in Cholula with the two beautiful ladies Daniela and Emily.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The new amazing thing I've seen is watching the sunset at Mazunte from La Punta. Just a few people scattered around, sand crabs running all over the place, beautiful colors, perfect landscape . . . I want to go back right now.
Most amazing thing done is seeing my student Leticia's reaction when she got her US citizenship.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a fair cook, I can fake my skill in lots of different activities (rock climbing, most sports). I'm actually a little unsure what they want here, so I guess I'll just say if you have questions, ask me, and I'll answer as well as I can.
