CURRENT MISSION

To travel as much as possible.

ABOUT ME

I love to travel and haven't done enough. I am a big foodie and feel that the way into a culture is via the food. I will eat anything from street food (some of the best food in the world) to fancy fine dining, when I can afford it. I like to learn new recipes and love to cook. There are so many different cuisines out there. I want to eat and cook them all. I want to one day do a round the world trip. I need to save and find the time, both very difficult, but one day it will happen. I love to meet people all over the world and see how they see things. How they view American, religion, film, culture, etc.

Interests

Travel. Obviously. Eating. Some of the best food I have ever eaten has been street food. One of the best meals of my life cost me 3 soles ($1) in a street market in Peru. Oh, Lomo Saltado how delicious you are. Film. I am a huge movie buff and that is why I choose to work in the pictures.

Music, Movies, and Books

MOVIES - Any Coen Brothers film epecially The Big Lebowski. The usual film buff list. Some notable exceptions. Panic. The Edge. Wit. And The Graduate also rocks. Will Ferrell's movies are also fantastic.

MUSIC - Pink Martini. The Fratellis. Iron & Wine.

BOOKS - Kitchen Confidential. A Cook's Tour. Heat. Marching Powder. Brave New World. Catch 22. 1984.

TELEVISION - I find that no matter where you go in the world and whoever you meet. You can almost always find common ground by talking about The Simpsons. I also enjoy Curb Your Enthusiasm. The West Wing. Arrested Development. Northern Exposure.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

I am just a Freshman, so people might have to help out here. I had a friend who said he had great experiences with CS. His host even recruited him to play on their weekly softball team. I hope to have as much fun as he has.
