Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a huge fan of people's philosophies and I love to dissect them and find nuance in them. I have my own as well that I'm very willing to share. I would love to learn about your culture and hope that you might want to hear a little about the culture in San Francisco. Whenever I travel I go straight to the little non-touristic coffee shops, bars, restaurants to find the individuals who will show me the true culture of their society. I hope to also share some laughs and unsuspected adventures. I also play guitar if you're interested in a jam session. I have bachelors in Economics, have worked at a 100k person company as well as a 8 person company. I'm very willing to exchange ideas and stories.
