About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To open a microbrewery

ABOUT ME

Waiting to win the lottery so I can quit my job and travel the world. In the mean time, working full-time to pay the bills and save up for my next excursion. I was born in New York although grew up in the Middle East and the Philippines. I spent the last 20 years of my existence in Los Angeles. I moved to the Midwest to jump start my career.

I love to laugh and turn any misfortunes/predicament around. I'm open minded and very easy to get a long with. I love meeting new people and talking about their life's experience and being inspired by them.

PHILOSOPHY

Carpe the f#$@ing diem!
Traveling is the only thing that makes you richer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
