About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To grow and evolve.

ABOUT ME

I followed my heart and it led me to amazing places. It helped me find the love of my life and continue to embrace all of life's offerings.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe that change is integral to being human, like eating, sleeping, or breathing. We must embrace it.
I live my life in the hope that one day, all will be treated equally in the face of the law, but more importantly amongst themselves. We may not all be of equal means and opportunities, but deep down, we are the same - human.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love reading more than anything else (short of travelling, horses and maybe dogs...) In terms of books I'm interested in, Tuesdays With Morrie and Robin Hobb's Farseer trilogy would be my Top Listings.
Music-wise, I can listen to anything.
In terms of films, any comedies are more than welcome, as well as serious stuff (except for anything by Stanley Kubrik)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Learning to ride gaucho-style in Uruguay
The first Gay Pride parade I ever went to (Sofia Pride 2012)
Climbing the Great Wall of China last summer (over 1000 steps...that's some serious cardio!)
and so many more that I can't pick!!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach any of the 8 languages I'm fluent in. I can also teach you how to cook (which I've been learning as well!) how to play chess and how to ride (provided we find horses.) I would be more than happy to discuss anything from wine to what would happen if rubber ducks ruled the world.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Any of my stories of life on 3 continents, any tips, tricks and places to check out in the cities I've been to, or lived in; lots of bad and language-related jokes. Limited acoustic guitar and salsa dancing skills (but I'm always happy to learn more of either of those!)

Countries I’ve Lived In

Brazil, Bulgaria, China, Ecuador, England, France, Germany, Switzerland
