¡Hola! I´m Coni born in the USA, raised in El Salvador and lived in Mexico for several years. I studied English, Spanish, Italian and i´m currently learning French and Arabic. I like history, culture, languages, music and reading. I´m a little on the nerd side =).

I have discovered I like video editing and picture taking also. I have done some travel to Central America (El Salvador, Guatemala, Costa Rica) and South America (Colombia and Venezuela back when Hugo Chavez was in power, so its been a while). I like to learn and understand other people´s culture.

I like to dance and watch TV series like Dexter, Vikings, Hannibal, Atypical, Rome etc. I do watch movies but not as often.

I like to run and have done a few half marathons. I also like to go to the gym, eat as healthy as I can and do Yoga. I try to be a minimalist and only buy whats needed, I also believe in caring for our planet so I don´t use plastic bags or straws and I recycle as much as I can.

I would love to meet other individuals and learn about their believes, life styles, daily routines, music and hobbies and world perspective. I´m a true believer of the following quote: Cuando una flor se abre es primavera en todo el mundo. Meaning, when someone makes a change in their life the world around them changes.

Thank you for taking the time to read about me and if our paths meet please be sure to tell me which beer is the best in your country. PD: I like beer.
