Welcome!

Hi there! Thanks for visiting my site. I hope that you enjoy the trip!

About Me

I am half Cuban and live between Mexico, Japan, and the US. Most of my close relatives live in Mexico, so that's where I am currently based, but I teach university classes to landscape students in Japan. I attained a PhD in spatial planning and environmental engineering while living there for many years. My PhD focused on how we can use ethnobotanical plants to connect with nature and create a positive future for all life on Earth.

Actually, I have a lot of fun. I enjoy a variety of different hobbies and interests. My interests are the seeming extremes of technology, art, and nature.

Whether in Japan or in the US, I have been a member at maker spaces -- community spaces for people interested in fixing electronics, creating art and technological stuff, and generally sharing and learning about how to hack the world to make it a better place. I enjoy using a soldering iron as much as a paintbrush.

I love to go for walks in nature and identify birds and plants. I like to imagine many things, and have been labeled a visionary. I believe that no one is perfect and we all have something important to bring to the table.

I love to dance, sing, and make music with my synthesizers.
