I'm open minded, intellectually curious and optimistic.

My work takes me to some cool places. Over the last year or so I've been to Russia, Brazil, Thailand and Hungary. I'm always looking forward to being immersed in a new culture.

Last summer I learnt to sail. Never thought I would enjoy chilling on a sailboat so much. Hope I get to do it this year too.

I really like to bike around the city. Take off in one direction with a couple of friends and then decide where to stop for a bite.

Driving cars. I competed in several rally races and have a few trophies to show for it. I can't do it now, and really miss the adrenaline of doing 100 mph on a dirt road.

Dancing salsa. I was born in Cartagena, Colombia, and my teen years involved a lot of dancing. Just give me a good beat.

Horseback riding. Not much I can do with that skill now, right? I dream of doing a long trip out in Montana or Mongolia - they're equally likely right now.

My accent.

I like movies with drama and grit. Dystopia never hurts. Here are a few of my favorites from IMDB's top 250 list:

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Goodfellas, Seven Samurai, City of God, Rear Window, Leon The Professional, Memento, Spirited Away, The Lives of Others, Requiem for a Dream, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Metropolis, Toy Story, Blade Runner, Trainspotting, Kill Bill: Vol. 1, Black Swan, Amores Perros, Life of Pi, The Princess Bride, District 9 and Stalker.

While I like to eat healthy, I'm always looking for an excuse to try new food. I have phases, though; into a serious middle eastern obsession.

Hot water - long showers are my daily luxury
Skype - have to stay in touch with my family
Beat - how else am I going to dance?
Maps - never enough of them
Cinemas - silver screens are truly better

How I can append more "cultural learnings" to my trips.

If the weekend's weather will be bike friendly.

At the movies, meeting friends for dinner or attending my sleep deprivation.

Let's cover this one over a beer. It will be more interesting.

You're open minded.
You're well travelled.
