I'm very easy going, friendly, and open minded. I enjoy travelling and visiting new places and meeting new people. When I’m travelling, I like visiting local attractions and eating at local restaurants. I have a wide variety of hobbies including beach volleyball, standup comedy, board games, pub trivia, escape rooms, trying new breweries. I work as a college teacher; I teach engineering in a small college, also do research on renewable energy.

Música, películas y libros

My fav movie genres are mystery thrillers and comedy so I love when they overlap in dark comedies that resulted in some of my fav movies such as Fargo, Snatch, In Bruges, Casino, The Big Lebowski, Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, Due Date,… I also have a few favorite directors that I've watched almost all of their movies: Coen brothers, Kubrick, Coppola, Tarantino, Scorsese, Spielberg, Tim Burton, David Fincher, Wes Anderson, Guy Ritchie, Todd Philips,...

I love sitcoms too and quote too much from them; The Office, Brooklyn 99, Parks and Rec, Seinfeld, Sunny, Curb…

I enjoy reading too, mostly non fiction, psychology, sociology, and different topics on self improvement depending on my goal at the time. I used to enjoy reading fiction too, mystery thrillers but haven’t done that in a few years. Some of my fav authors include Sam Harris, Malcolm Gladwell, Agatha Christie,…

Algo increíble que he hecho

I’m very passionate about helping my students; I love it when I witness a student’s aha moment as they learn a new concept. Being a part of that process has been an amazing life experience for me!

Enseña, aprende, comparte

Even though I work as an educator, I’m really a student at heart and love learning something new every day.

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

Sharing travel and life stories over food and drinks is a great human bonding tradition! I’m not the best cook but I’ve enjoyed experimenting with many food and cocktail recipes since the pandemic so I’d be happy to cook some food or make cocktails depending on the time, preference, and diet. As my pandemic hobby, I mastered these cocktails: old-fashioned, margarita, gin gin mule, cucumber cooler, whisky smash, and tequila sunrise!
