Who's the SSG?

Geek. Swing Dancer. Coffee Snob. Swing & Blues DJ. Not necessarily in that order.

I’m Colombian, I’m German, I’m Canadian.

I like many things.  So many in fact, that I’ve been called a true Renaissance woman a couple of times.

I like to eat and I like to dance.  I also like to write and I’m just starting to feel comfortable enough to write in English -My Mother Tongue is Spanish.  Thus the blog.

I love animals and I love my cat cats in particular (yes, I now have TWO cats).  Jay likes to cuddle with me while I write blog posts. Satchie is a little bundle of nervous kitten energy and rarely sleeps, so the cuddling part is not quite there yet.

I speak Spanish, Italian and English.  I want to learn German but I never seem to find the time to do it.

Some people hate me, some people think I’m adorable.  I am that kind of person, I guess.  I’m very passionate about what I do.  I love good discussions and I love to be challenged.  Contrary to those who think I am opinionated, I don’t mind at all changing my mind if you prove to me that I am wrong.

I tend to be very loud but that is not entirely my fault as I am hard of hearing and can’t always tell the volume of my voice.  I’ve been living with chronic pain since I was 11.

I also struggle with Mental Illness.  Depression, PTSD, ADHD.

In spite of that, I am an eternal optimist to the point of being annoying.

If you want to learn more about me I guess you’ll have to keep reading.
