About Me

CURRENT MISSION
Ready to travel and REINVENT myself, again! I'm a private/professional chef and want to take my talents around the world, eventually opening a restaurant abroad. :D

ABOUT ME

Se habla Español !

An ever curious INDIGO CHILD!

I'm a binational, bilingual, bicitizen of this beautiful region who, at times, struggles with that polarizing yet balanced lifestyle of the Californias. I am one to stand up and hold it down for my cities. I love San Diego and I LOVE Tijuana even more. It is my great pleasure to show my city, share my life with, and open the doors of my home to a person who's equally open-minded. Oh, and I love Twix.

If you like Jeff Buckley, Alan Watts, Nature, Trees, Mezcal and cumbias...we'll get along quite well :)

PHILOSOPHY

"There's gon' be some stuff you gon' see
that's gon' make it hard to smile in the future.
But through whatever you see,
through all the rain and the pain,
you gotta keep your sense of humor.
You gotta be able to smile through all this bullshit.
Remember that."

--Tupac Shakur

Also, my "inner voice" sounds like 2Chainz. lol
