One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Radiohead live @ Coachella, 2012. utter bliss.

Hitchhiking solo across 4 countries in Europe

Going solo to MELT! music festival in Germany; It took a lot of self motivation and a lot of overcoming of my fears to attend by myself. None of my friends were interested in the line up but I knew I could not miss it, so I took the chance and went-- I camped there for 4 days, withstood a massive hail and rain storm, slept in the forest, saw some of my favorite djs and bands, welcomed the sunrise with thousands of others still dancing at the 24 hr stage, and met tons of people from all over.

Teach, Learn, Share

As a host, I can share: a comfy couch or mattress, blankets, pillows, wifi, lots of interesting discussions/funny stories, showing you around town and getting you acquainted with the Isla Vistan life, hanging out, grabbing food and drinks, lots of fun activities (hiking, wine tasting, ocean swimming, bike rides, stand up paddle boarding, etc)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can whip up a good dinner or desert...maybe some Mexican food ;).... share knowledge about my cultures and our traditions, do some sort of language exchange, entertain you with a good conversation or some bad jokes, help you clean, garden or cook around your place, go on some sort of adventure with you and treat you to dinner &/or drinks
