Hi! My name is Román.

@today.yes.now on IG

I am a movie producer / director. If I wasn’t a filmmaker perhaps then a chef. I LOVE to cook, it’s a fun creative outlet; specially when doing it to entertain others. I also enjoy hot Yoga, Latin dances, and definitely spending time with my family & friends.

Traveling is also a huge passion of mine; 260+ cities in six continents. During these travel adventures, I've met many wonderful people from all walks of life. They have given me a deeper appreciation for diversity, inclusion, and community. Having been exposed to so many stories of triumph and tragedy has rendered me unable to judge others. Instead, my heart has been stretched to be more compassionate and curious about other’s journey.

I am super easy going and enjoy listening to other people’s stories, over delicious food, a glass of wine, or a beer or a cup of tea,... or simply by just being present with no agenda but to connect, laugh and encourage one another.

You are likely reading this because I may have requested to visit with you. If so, thank you in advance for considering to host me on this beautiful journey of life. Or perhaps you are reading this because you have requested to stay, if so, I hope our calendar match so that I may show you a good time around me.

Cheers!

Román

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy very much meeting people who are open-minded and inclusive of others. People who embrace life, arts, nature... they care for the environment and don't mind separating metal cans from the plastics bottles or buying food from the local farmer's market. I truly enjoy experiencing the diversity of cultures. In particular, I enjoy listening to people’s stories.

“Speak in such a way that others love to listen to you, listen in such a way others love to speak to you.” x
