About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I live in Barranquilla, Colombia now but can't be bothered with the whole changing my verification code thing.

ABOUT ME

I've gone from an actor in NYC with 30 jobs to an obnoxious bartender in the Hamptons of the Mid-atlantic to a bleeding-heart non-profiteer...and ready to shift gears once again. I want to travel badly and I heard about Couch Surfing (like a year ago but I finally got around to it).
