Overview
About Me
Can you help me learn Spanish (B2), French (B1) or Russian (A1)?
Update (Apr 2021): I just moved to London!
I recently spent two years traveling, living in four different cities (Berlin, NY, Amsterdam and Taipei), working on my startup idea. Unfortunately I couldn't turn it profitable but it was a great experience and I learned a lot.
When I was younger, I lived in Bogota for three months to learn Spanish. I travel whenever I get the opportunity. I love skiing, cycling, hiking and bouldering. I love learning languages, about other cultures and... well, learning in general.
I grew up in Melbourne but lived for four years in California (working at Google and Coursera).
