I LOVE going to the park. Being surrounded by nature, especially trees and mountains, makes me happy. Just breathing fresh air is stress relieving to me but when I can have a great conversation with someone else or at least a great book it makes going to the park a lot better.

I have an addiction to buying books. I love reading books on philosophy, history, art

I feel that I could probably not live without music in my life; It is art that is in my life every single day. I am very open to music. I am Hispanic, so I listen to a lot of both English and Spanish speaking artists. My main genre of music would have to be Indie folk, alternative rock, classic rock...

Some Favorite artists include:

Beirut, Bebe, Bob Dylan, Brandi Carlile, BON IVER, Bowerbirds, Bright Eyes, Cafe Tacvba, Cat Power, The Cave Singers, Cold War Kids, Damien Rice, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, Emiliana Torrini, Enrique Bunbury, Fleet Foxes, The Frames, Frank Sinatra, Joe Purdy, Kina Grannis, Kings of Leon, Kinky, La Roux, LCD Soundsystem, Lykke Li, MIA, Mana, Manu Chao, Matt Hires, Monsters of Folk, Piers Faccini, Phoenix, Plastilina Mosh, Quiero Club, Radiohead, Rodrigo y Gabriela, Ryan Adams, Shakira (her old Spanish music only), SIA, Smashing Pumpkins, Sufjan Stevens, Tegan and Sara, Tokyo Police Club, The White Rabbits, The White Stripes, Ximena Sarinana, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, YEASAYER, Zoe, Correatown, AND Mariachi

Other hobbies/interests of mine would be sitting in coffee shops for a long hours, reading, hanging out with my family (we love to debate). Oh, how could I forget. I am a huge fan of U.S Mens National Soccer Team and I enjoy watching other sporting events.

Some of my favorite quotes:

"So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more dangerous to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man's living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun."

Something casual and low maintenance. Maybe small picnic at the park, or sipping some coffee/tea. The main focus would be a place where we could talk about who we are, what we do, what we want to do, and so on.
