I am a very down to earth, stress free person. I don't sweat the small things and I love to break tense situations buy cracking a joke or two. Born and raised in San Diego but I have worked as a tour guide and educator for 6 years in Alaska, Africa and San Diego. Worked at the San Diego Zoo with tons of different animals!

I love the outdoors never plan on have another job where I work indoors. I love to rock climb, camp, surf, kayak, hike and bike. I frequently go out camping or climbing and love to travel. I just got back from spending a month wintering down in Baja California and several weeks hiking across Spain. Not sure why I came back.

"We wanderers are very cunning - we develop those feelings which are impossible to fulfill; and the love which actually should belong to a woman, we lightly scatter among small towns and mountains, lakes and valleys, children by the side of the road, beggars on the bridge, cows in the pasture, birds and butterflies. We separate love from its object, love alone is enough for us, in the same way that, in wandering we dont look for a goal, we only look for the happiness of wandering, only the wandering." -Herman Hesse
