ABOUT ME

Hi, I'm Darren. I am an open minded person, very curious about the world and what it has to offer. I'm from California but I moved to New York City about 3 years ago. I am currently working as a Bartender in Manhattan and occasionally study French.

PHILOSOPHY

Optimism is key. I believe in the law of attraction and karma.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sitting on my surfboard in the Pacific ocean, at sunset, with no one in sight, floating over a 15 ft(4.5m)wave and watching it crash from the very top, feeling the thunderous vibration and the mist of ocean water caught in a slight offshore breeze.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to teach people how to surf (not couches), but unfortunately it is not as easy to do in nyc. I would love to learn more french by practicing with people. I'm not the greatest yet and I'm a little shy about it, but it is definitely something I love.
