Who I'd like to meet: Anybody interested in making Oakland a better place. The city has so much potential, a lot of true lovers and still so many people who don't believe in the change I witness on a dayly basis from my corner of Telegraph and 17th.
Anybody interested in travelling, discovering new countries, new cultures. I have been travelling quite a bit my self, not lately though, and I am missing it so much.
Anybody with an opinion, willing to share it, to accept a different point of view, to get passionate about it, but in the end, toast and hug
