My name is Steven, I'm 16 years old. I'm 71 inches, 1.80 m, or 5'11 feet tall. I live in Hawthorne in Los Angeles (where the beach boys are from), 10 minutes away from the beach and the airport. Love going out with friends, talking to people and see whats out there in the world. I speak Spanish at home, study French at school, and talk English in public. Its my first year of French but I would like to know more about their culture. Both of my parents were born and raised in Guatemala. I always visit all my family there almost every summer and Christmas vacation. I have a liberal and really open mind to cultures since I had to get used to the guatemalan and american culture xD. I ran the Los Angeles Marathon four times already which is a 26.2 mile run or 42.16 kilometers. I ran it in 2006, 2007, 2008, and 2009! I am still going to run the next marathon and training a friend for the marathon. I became a choreographe​r during the summer but not a license one xD. I taught a quinceñera of 15 guys how to dance the waltz and a special entrance. Then I also taught 4 guys and 4 girls how to dance the waltz and merengue at the same time. Also, I'm on myspace a lot so if you have an account, friend request me on http://www.​myspace.com/​jello7pudd​.
I have a webcam but its for communicatio​n only, not showing my ****.

By the way, if your visiting LA let me know
i can tell you what to visit and everything..​ maybe be a tour dude xD

Anyone so I can practice my Spanish and/ or French. Also I'm learning Tagalog but not in a class.
I like to collect coins for anyone who wants to exchange anything for currency. I'm not going to be asking anyone for money, but if you want to, let me know.
Really, I like to get to know many people from around the world. Since I'm bi cultural, I don't really judge many people so don't be shy. I can say I have a liberal and really open mind.
I dont really care if you're a boy or a girl.
I dont care if you're straight, gay, bi, or trans.
Even how old you are. I think it will be interesting having a conversation​ with a 200 year old person but wouldnt happen xD

Places I am visiting:

France in April 2010 with the school.
Philippines Summer 2010 with my friend and her family.
Brazil in 2014 for the World Cup!
and some how to Italy and other European countries XD

Spanish. Talking and reading is more my strong point when comes to Spanish. Spanish was actually my first language but didn't learn how to read and write until high school.

French. I took my first year of French already so I know my basics XD
I would like to improve in French but warn you I am bad at grammar

Tagalog. I love the language and I think it sounds really cool. I know few words in Tagalog and have a filipino friend teaching. I would like to know more since it sounds a little bit like spanish

I am going to try to learn Portuguese and Italian in collage because they are part of the Romance Language. So if anyone wants to teach me few words, that will be great. After all, I am going to visit Brazil and Italy some how

I enjoy playing lacrosse & soccer
Also, quinceaneras​ are my favorite parties. I can't live without them. Like to dance merengue at parties, the best Dominican music ever..
and listening to other Hispanic music too.
During the summer, I became a choreographe​r and I taught a quincenera and now another one xD Finally I completed one of my goals and getting paid for what I like doing.
