Description

Hola! Hello! 嗨~！ Ciao! ヤッホー!

I'm a joyful guy from Panama and I've lived abroad for most of my adult life. I'm an Engineer by profession, but I've worked as a language teacher, tennis / fitness coach & Private cook for the past years. I moved to Taiwan after graduating from High school, where I completed undergraduate studies in Mechanical Engineering at NTU, stayed for work, and is where I've spent 8 out of the last 10 years of my life. I'm currently based in Taiwan where I'm completing master's studies in Industrial engineering and management at NTUT.

Since I can remember I've always been curious and passionate about the unknown. Since I did my first "solo" travel in 2011 to an English college in the UK, my mind has been itching about traveling all around the world to meet the rich cultural diversity our world has to offer. In fact, such is my desire to understand new cultures that I go as far to learn the local language as much as I can while there.

I believe life should be lived to the maximum, while prioritizing what's important to oneself. Love, Respect, and Tolerance are values I try to live by. I would like to meet you and help with your project as much as I can, share laughs, sweat, or even tears. Workaway have been the best thing that has happened in my life because of all the places, all the skills I've learned, but especially the lovely people I've been able to meet. I hope you'll be next🔥.

Plus de détails sur les langues qui m'intéressent
Languages I could teach: Spanish - English - Chinese Languages that I would like to learn/practice: Italian-Japanese-French-Portuguese-Bahasa-Cantonese When I moved to Taiwan I never thought learning Chinese would be such a challenge. After 10 years, even though I can communicate perfectly with locals, I still feel I could always lever up a notch. I love the challenge, but specially the reward of being able to communicate with locals to have a deeper experience and understanding of their culture.
