I'm 30 years old I'm a Chemical Engineer, I also have a master in Environmental Business from a German University. I'm Colombian, and I love travelling, cooking, meeting new people and learning about new cultures. I'm a very respectful and happy person.
About things without I couldn't live, the first one is probably travelling. I have had the opportunity to know places like Machu Picchu, Paracas, Cusco, Lima in Perú, Rotterdam and Amsterdam in the Netherlands, Paris in France, München, Frankfurt, Berlin, Regensburg, Mainz, Cologne and Saarbrucken in Germany where I lived 1 year, Kaunas and Vilnius in Lithuania, Northampton and London in England where I have done my master's internship, Madrid in Spain, Brussels and Antwerp in Belgium, Colombo, Kandy and Badulla in Sri Lanka and Chicago, New York and Indianapolis in the US and Bangkok, Kandi and Chiang Mai in Thailand and Malta. I would love to visit Cabo Verde, Morocco and many other countries. The second one is coffee since I'm Colombian I appreciate a delicious cup of coffee. The third one is studying I love learning about new and exciting things like how to add value to local communities through businesses that don't pollute the environment, how renewable technologies are applied in different contexts and other field new cooking recipes. The fourth thing without I couldn't live is dancing I love dancing especially salsa, but I also took a 1-year course of belly dance. The final one is probably having interesting conversations, with my husband we can talk and talk about many different issues in the world and is something that I just love.

At the moment I'm reading Kafka on the shore by Haruki Murakami. I also really like movies, my favourite from all times are the trilogy Back to the future, but I too love all Harry Potter and the Lord of the Rings movies. I enjoy comedy and drama films like the ones directed by Lars Von Trier.
