ABOUT ME

Hi! I'm usually a bit shy when I first meet someone; however, know that most people see me as a pretty cool guy, and I consider myself to be a friendly person. I love getting to know new people, so I study different languages to communicate beyond what I was originally able. I never try to bother or annoy people. All I want is peace, but that doesn't mean that I don't like to have fun. Please contact me if you would like to know more.

Interests

I'm currently a Linguistics major, so my greatest interest lies in the languages of the world. I love studying different languages and cultures. Besides that, I enjoy hiking, cooking, traveling, meeting new people, dancing, and having the company of friends.

Examples:

Usually when I'm home in Philadelphia, my friends and I like trying out different restaurants of varying cuisines and relaxing at a bar. When I'm at school, sometimes my friends and I might go to different fraternity parties, go hiking, visit small towns and their shops, cook, drink and talk, or watch a movie.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like all kinds of music, except for rap and death metal haha. However, the music that I listen to is usually in a different language. In a variety of languages, I listen to house, techno, and pop music the most. However, I also like rock, alternative rock, salsa, merengue, bachata, and CHALGA. When I'm in certain moods, I listen to folk, instrumental, and new age. In addition, I can listen to a complete album of anything by Evanescence, Linkin Park, and Florence and the Machines. Well, you can see that my taste in music is rather random haha.

I don't watch films often, but when I do, I really enjoy watch horror films. I guess I just like the feeling of being scared, it's exciting, but never have me go through a haunted house haha! I also like fantasy movies like Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter, and comedies on occasion.

I rarely have time to commit myself to a book; however, when I did have time, I enjoyed reading fantasy. Thus, Harry Potter was number one for me. Currently, I find myself reading articles on anything having to do with linguistics and foreign languages. However, don't judge me on this haha. If I had the chance, I'd be going through different series of fantasy books. In addition, I still have that far away goal of reading through the whole Bible. I'm sure one day it'll happen ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I did paragliding once. That was pretty cool.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm great at things related to linguistics. Oh! I also know how to cook! If you've never tried Puerto Rican cuisine, I could make you a dish :)
