Love to enjoy life to the max! even in my workplace. I am a product developer, studied food science and agriculture, I like to have fun, chill, and enjoy everything life offers. I love anything water (pool, beach, jacuzzi, hot tub). a swimmer at heart (have been trying some open water swimming at the ocean lately), biker (own a decent GIANT bike good for river trails), cook (anything gourmet, really like to put my creative juices to work in the kitchen, often making my own spin-offs of ethnic cuisines I try while dining out), read (information is power), foreign languages (have a talent for them and countless friends from all over the globe to practice them!), travel (done plenty of domestic tourism in the US in the last 6 years I've lived here), arts (paint, create, fashion, sculpt, re-invent are all my MO's for my everyday life), nature (green plants and trees, ocean, mountains, water falls, ocean, ah!), red wine (my cure for a lonely winter night or to relax with friends over cheese and other delicacies), scub-a-dive (Did it for the first time in Ft Lauderdale 3 years ago and looking forward to the next underwater adventure), coffee snob (caffeine is my drug)

Interests
