I am a Texan living in Helsinki, Finland. I am the father of two bilingual chidren, who speak both Swedish and English. I speak a little Finnish (because this is Finland), a little more Swedish ('cus it's easier to learn for an English-speaker), a little Spanish ('cus yo soy de Tejas), and a couple others too (b/c I am internationally oriented and enjoy learning languages).
Some of my favorite readings are:
- The Tempest by William Shakespear
- Theatetus by Plato
- Bamse comics by Rune Andréasson
- The Bourne Identity by Robert Ludlum
My hobbies revolve around two themes - Music and Sports.
- Cuban-style dances
- Salsa cubana
- Reggaeton
- Timba
- La Rumba
- Bachata
- Music
- Drums: Samba reggae - caixa (Traditional Bahian rhythms )
- Guitar: Blues-rock á la Jimi Hendrix, T-Bone Walker, Muddy Waters, maybe some Beach Boys, Bob Marley, and George Strait (eg. All My Exes Live in Texas)
- Piano: basics of classical and popular music from Beethoven to the Beatles
- Singing: all styles, multiple languages
- Sports
- Swimming
- Boxing
- Skiing
- Hockey
- Football(Soccer)
- Parkour
- Cycling
The best way to get in touch is email, but I plan to activate a twitter.
