I’m Ruben. 👋 I’m 31 years old and currently living in Las Vegas. My passion lies in writing, especially poetry. I’m here to connect with people from around the world, learn new languages, and exchange cultures. I’m into gaming, hiking, and listening to music. I’ve played the tuba and bass guitar in the past. I also love watching anime, reading manga, and exploring the unique subcultures. True crime podcasts and history from all perspectives fascinate me, and I’m always eager to learn something new. I’m interested in learning learning other languages! I’m looking forward to meeting new friends here. Feel free to say hi. I’m up for chatting about tech, anime, history, or just sharing stories. 😊 ## About - **Age**: 31 - **Location**: Nevada, United States - **VIP Member**: Yes ⭐ ## Languages ### Native Language **English** ### Learning - **Japanese** (Level 1) - **Tagalog** (Level 1) - **Chinese** (Level 1) ### Can Teach - **English** - **Spanish** ## Interests & Hobbies Museum, History, Psychology, Comedy, Korean Drama, Documentary, Poetry, Video Games, Manga, Anime, Foodie, Reading, Writing, Indie, K-pop, Alternative, J-rock, J-pop, Hiking, Technology ## Career & Education **Occupation**: Computer Engineer, Freelancer **Education**: Graduate ## Travel **Hometown**: Long Beach, California, USA **Places to Visit**: Japan, Turkey, Greece, Switzerland, Ireland, Iceland, Germany, South Korea ## Community Stats - **Followers**: 229 - **Following**: 212 - **Moments**: 33 - **Language Exchange Sessions**: 1 - **Learning Points**: 6,659 - **Corrections Made**: 23 ## Recent Moments 1.
