CURRENT MISSION

Travel and meet new people!

ABOUT ME

Born and raised in the Inland Empire, Calfornia near Los Angeles. Went to Mexico to study Dentistry for 5 years and now back to the states to live again. I consider myself a friendly and outgoing guy, always down to try new things. I'm a bit serious at first but later tend to be a quirky, sarcastic and generally easy going around friends and stranger. Sometimes in the middle of our conversation I will remind you what the hell we were talking about because my mind wanders off somewhere so let's try to make our conversation engaging for all of us :)

I am always down to show you around my area (Pomona, Claremont, San Gabriel Mountains, Knotts) and possibly the LA area as well. I do work most of the weekdays so preferably if you can request weekends and we can work something out. I live with 2 housemates/tenants and I expect cleanliness and respect for the house and people who live here.

PHILOSOPHY

Happiness is only real when shared.

Respect and love!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

mmmmm I've climbed a couple of really tall mountains... Going up is much nicer than going down. I've left a stable job back home in the states to start traveling for more than 1 year?!

Teach, Learn, Share

Everyday is a learning experience. I have much to learn and have things to offer. Exchanging ideas and hearing someone else's words is an amazing thing. Sharing and being respectful in my opinion is a fundamental philosophy I carry with me.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I like to cook and explore new places. I like being a tourist in my own area! I can give you Oral Hygiene Instructions and ramble on about dentistry. I can drink beer with you or if you want me to leave you alone I can disappear in a corner and wont bother you. If I'm free and you need help then I can offer help in any way possible let that be information, planning, driving etc.
