Hi!

I'm Javier De la Morena and I'm a PhD candidate in Translation Studies at Kent State University, in Ohio. I originally come from Madrid and these years for my thesis I'm visiting a few archives, so I'd love to have the opportunity to meet new people in the places I'm visiting!

I'm outgoing, enjoy cooking, board games, movies, books, concerts...

I am looking forward to meeting you! :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I moved to the United States to follow my academic passions and keep discovering new places and people throughout the world!

I hitch-hiked from Vienna, Austria to Ljubliana, Slovenia... it was amazing!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm always happy to talk about my culture, to learn from others with a nice cup of coffee, wine, or a cocktail (I'm a cocktail aficionado, I love learning about mixology).
