Originally from the UK, I have lived and worked in the UK, Germany, South Africa, Venezuela and the USA as a Mechanical Engineer in the aircraft and oil industries.
I love to travel and enjoy sandy beaches rather than snowy mountains.
I particularly like the South American culture but enjoy meeting people from all countries with differing cultures.
I enjoy listening to most types of music, rock, punk, alternative, reggae, salsa, merengue and when in mellow mood, classical/opera music.
A non-smoker, I enjoy most sports and am an avid competitive runner and cyclist.
I speak Spanish along with my native English.
