About Me

I'm a person who wants to see the world and meet the people in it. I'm a joyful Colombian math teacher working in Cambodia and loving it.
I'm kind of shy so describing myself is very hard. I love cooking but not in a professional way, the same goes for reading and cycling. I love nature and therefore hiking and camping are among my favorite activities. Recently I added scuba diving to my hobbies.
I was born in Colombia (a beautiful country with happy welcoming people, in case you've heard anything different) and proud to be Colombian.
I think life is meaningless if you're not doing what you love and that's why I decided to leave my life as an engineer to become a teacher.

Anything else you want to know, just ask.
