CURRENT MISSION

Find Colombians to Interview for my Blog

ABOUT ME

At the moment, I'm in Colombia to see if I can make it a permanent home. I'm originally from New York and spent the last four years in London where I met my Colombian boyfriend before coming to Mogotes with him.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to appreciate the little things in life, make time to listen to people's stories and try to understand other people and cultures. I want to see as much of the world as possible and follow happiness wherever it may take me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I joined this group to find a network of Colombians to help me better understand this country. If you're interested in being interviewed for my a section on my blog called Conversations with Colombians, please email me at stephanie.sadler@hotmail.com.

(I'm also looking for volunteers to help translate posts...)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have before hosted people on my couch and have slept on some myself. At this time, I'm staying with a family and do not have the privilege of full participation but hope to again offer my couch in time.
