ABOUT ME

I was born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona but lived in central Texas for a good portion of my life. I am a very open person and I love many things! My current passions (outside of traveling and learning) are learning the violin and the classical world around that, anime, technology and crypto currency, and the good Lord Jesus Christ :))

I love to learn about new cultures and languages, and of course new food!

Music, Movies, and Books

The New York Times Best-Selling Author "Timothy Ferriss" is a life model of mine! His books are like a second bible to me. "Four Hour Work Week, Four Hour Body, Four Hour Chef"

#1 Movie - Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
#1 Fictional Book - Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card

I love all types of music in many genres! I am truly not too picky. I can play the guitar and piano a little.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was in Austin, Texas (USA) for South By South West (SXSW - A annual festival) 2011, and I decided to into a free venue called Emo's on 6th Street. To my amazement the American Actor/Musician Michael Cera came on stage with his band! After the show I was able to take a picture of him but only got to say Hi. That was my first real life encounter with a famous celebrity.

During my deployment to Afghanistan, 2011-2012, I was given a 2 week vacation, in which I took in Seoul, South Korea. This was my first real time visiting another country and I was entirely awestruck through the whole experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am very open and so I would to learn about anyone and everyone's culture, food, experiences, religion, and just general views. I also can share my experiences and American/Hispanic culture, I can teach you English if you need help, and I can teach you how to cook!!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Again I can share with you my cooking knowledge, and how to learn a language advice, which are probably the best skills I have.
