Sobre mí

CURRENT MISSION

to rid the world of monolingualism

ABOUT ME

I love learning, teaching, new people and experiences. I like traveling, but I hate feeling like a tourist. I'd rather take the time to get to know a place and the people in it. I am a chronic and incurable early riser. I'm a planner who relishes those adventures where nothing goes as planned.

I teach 2nd grade in a dual language program (Spanish and English) in Harlem.

PHILOSOPHY

"I have never let my schooling interfere with my education." --Mark Twain

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I both surfed and hosted in Mexico and have had very positive experiences for the most part. I found an amazing community of friends both in living in Oaxaca and during a month-long stay in Rio thanks to this site.

Intereses

I am interested in pretty much everything, but if there are two things I get most excited about in life, they are languages and dancing. :) Also, social movements, literature, history, music, art, gastronomy. Hiking, soccer, yoga. Salsa, merengue, bachata, swing, forró, samba... I'm not an expert but I'm an addict!

Música, películas y libros

To name just a couple: One Hundred Years of Solitude, Mountains Beyond Mountains. I listen to all kinds of music: latin, jazz, rock, reggae, afro-caribbean, etc. I like movies, especially independent ones, but have a terrible memory for plots so I won't try to name my favorites.

Algo increíble que he hecho

Making the trek up to the festival of Qoyllur Riti in Peru, a festival of traditional music and dancing that takes place on a mountain peak and literally does not stop for weeks on end. Sleeping there for two hours on the frosty ground, bundled in a sleeping bag and covered by a tarp, and being awoken by an old woman yelling something at me in Quechua. Hard to forget that.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I can help you with Spanish or English, share travel stories, and maybe even a few chords on guitar (though I'm not THAT good). I would like to improve my Portuguese! I've also become interested in drawing recently and would love some pointers.
