About Me

I like speaking Spanish,play acoustic guitar, some harmonica and write songs. I love trying new foods and meeting people from other cultures. Currently taking salsa lessons I'm determined to get it down. I spend alot of my free time jamming and basically finding interesting things to do... which can be difficult in the town I live so I need to be creative.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Barack Obama, Ben Harper, Douglas Coupland
