One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I am not the type to jump out of a plane or go bungee jumping but I do make big decisions without hesitation.

Once I met a group of English people in Las Vegas and spent 3 days with them. A month later I flew over to London and lived with two of them for a year.

It was one of the best decision I ever made.

When I returned to Southern California where I am from, I took $500 and a suitcase and moved to San Francisco because it is a place I always wanted to live. I slept on the floor, without a pillow, while looking for a job here for weeks. Now I have a great job, a great place to live and even better friends.

I moved to South Africa thinking I would be gone maximum, 6 months. Ended up staying three years.

Teach, Learn, Share

~I can show my guests the best non-touristy spots in San Francisco.
~I am knowledgable about politics and horticulture, if anyone would like a conversation about one of the two or both.
~I would love to take my guest on a bicycle tour.
~I suck at pool but would love to play a game with you.

~ I would like to meet people of different cultures for the experience and growth it will provide me.
~I would love to be taught a little of any language.
~Basically, I want to learn, so if you have something bring it up and we can discuss.
