I am from Colombia 🇨🇴 and Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 but consider myself first a citizen of the world 🌎 Growing up in different cultures, I learned early to appreciate the diversity of our world, and that’s why I love traveling and meeting new people wherever I go.

I speak English and Español fluently and am picking up Português again (I used to be pretty good but have not spoken it in a while).

Currently, my dream is to visit all of Latin America because this relates not only to my personal goals of learning more about our shared history and culture, but also to my professional goals in the future. When I’m not traveling I work as a Machine Learning Engineer (a field of Artificial Intelligence) 🤖 building software focused on helping protect our oceans, improve agriculture and all sorts of cool stuff I’d love to talk to you about!

In my free time, you’ll find me either reading 📖, running 🏃🏻, lifting weights 🏋️, rock climbing 🧗‍♂️ or watching anime.

I love sharing stories and listening to others. I have tons of great, crazy, and funny stories to share about my travels! I can also share more information about the history and culture where I’m from. I strongly believe that opening up and exchanging with others is how we grow as humans. At the end of the day, life is about the passions we pursue and the relationships we make ☀️
