About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To have the strangest experiences, meet the strangest people and travel the world... strangely, I guess.

ABOUT ME

I'm a vegetarian. My favorite things include brunch, dancing, Eddie Izzard, fruit tea, music, sarcasm, getting lost, the sun, martial arts, method acting, asceticism, indulgence, Globe Trekker, my dogs, humor, Christmas, Sporcle, writing, being ghetto fly, useless facts, New Mexican culture, chocolate, conspiracy theories and traveling. I was raised Catholic by a woman who doesn't believe in organized religion, I went to a Christian elementary school, became agnostic and now attend God's House Baptist Church to hear Gospel Music. I've hugged Ammachi twice and have concluded that it's a bit greedy to try to hug her a third time. I have never wasted a drop of orange juice in my life. Ever.

PHILOSOPHY

There's no reason you shouldn't try to enjoy every second of your life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been lit on fire.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some Salsa, Merengue and Hip-Hop. I can give singing lessons and Tae Kwon Do lessons. I kinda know how to play the clarinet. I can teach you the basics, at least. I'm an expert at making peanut sauce! I'd like to learn how to play the drums and how to breakdance.
