CURRENT MISSION

Finding life after university, work and everything predictable.

ABOUT ME

I was born a tri- citizen in Guadalajara, Mexico. Making me pretty much like the NAFTA agreement rolled into one Mexican-Canadian-American. I have spent most of my time in Portland and British Columbia, but still call Portland home.

Im definitely talkative but employ as much active listening as I possibly can. I have a tendency to remember faces til I die but forget names often, leading me to write your name down as soon as I meet you. I fear Im overly prepared most of the time. So, Im finding lessons in packing lighter through life.

PHILOSOPHY

I guess what it boils down to is:
"Given a relatively level playing field- i.e., water deep enough so that a shark could maneuver proficiently but shallow enough so that a bear could stand and operate with its characteristic dexterity- who would win in a fight between a bear and a shark?"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now Im living in places six months at a time, living somewhere between traveling and security. Making it hard to host or be hosted. Im looking forward to getting a place to host again.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Epic, Amazing and a continual source of making good lasting friendships. I didn't realize how many good people are out there.

Interests

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I don't want to ruin any stories. But if I am anything, I'm probably a storyteller.
