I am happy to converse with anyone, but I will rarely send the first message. If I do, it's usually because of a particular location or some other superfluous detail that peaks my interest, so if you're at all interested in speaking to me about anything please don't by shy, feel free to send me a message.
I was born in Chicago but raised on an island in south Florida merely 144km north of Havana, Cuba - currently I'm living in Miami. I spend my spare time exercising and co-captain a soccer club as well as playing with local semi-pro players. I'm also keen on studying subjects I am interested in. I am definitely a huge nerd, and I have certain interests that reflect this. I love trying local cuisine when I travel, and I am open to trying things that are quite exotic compared to what I am used to.
I'm sure there is a lot more to say, so if you have a question or want to know anything just send a message :]

Also,  preface for sending or receiving messages.
I am a serial profile viewer and it takes very little to spark my interest, even just being from a unique location. However, generally I don't want to bother people with something lacking importance, and sometimes I avoid sending random messages out of awkwardness. This does not mean I am not interesting in conversing, so if you -are- then feel free to send one :D

Messages or comments.
I really don't understand why people abuse the restrictions on this site. If someone bothers you then report/block them, but otherwise you're just limiting yourself - you may miss out on some truly interesting people.
I am open-minded towards most things as long as they don't restrict upon the decisions of others.

From an interview between Mike Wallace and Frank Lloyd Wright
Wallace: Do you go to any specific church?
Frank Lloyd Wright: Yes, I go occasionally to this one, and then sometimes to that one, but my church I put a capital N on Nature and go there.
Wallace: All right, sir, what do you think...
Frank Lloyd Wright: You spell God with a G, don't you?
Wallace: I spell God with a G, you will spell it with...?
Frank Lloyd Wright: I spell Nature with an N, capital
