CURRENT MISSION

Spreading the CS spirit!

ABOUT ME

An enthusiastic, outgoing, and easygoing 22 year old who lives for adventure, fun, and new experiences. Definitely one of those act first, ask later kinda guys.

I'm born and raised in New York City, studied abroad in Granada, Spain and now live in San Francisco where I do awesome research for CouchSurfing!

I believe in sharing, and saying please and thank you.
Big, crazy ideas, spandex, and shameless optimism make me happy.I prefer my eggs with ketchup and have an irrational love for guacamole.

PHILOSOPHY

Whenever I make a decision in life I always ask myself:
´´What's the worst that could happen?´´

"After the final no, there comes a yes, and on that yes the future world depends." ~ Wallace Stevens

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

Music:
really open to everything. But definitely prefer the electronic genre, especially some good House tunes.
80s music is also key.

Some of my favorite books:
The Man who was Thursday, A Confederacy of Dunces, Gates of Fire, Our man in Havana, Lucky Jim, Farenheit 451, anything by KURT VONNEGUT,

Some of my favorite movies:
Pulp Fiction, Fight Club, Children of Men, Twelve Monkeys, Gattica, Snatch, Lock Stock & Two smoking barrels, anything by Pedro Almodovar or Coen Brothers.
