I am currently in Bogotá but I was born and raised in Cali. I couldn't edit my location in the top part of my profile so now you know.

CURRENT MISSION

Exploring cool places in Bogotá :)

ABOUT ME

I am a lucky Colombian (no matter the limitations of a Colombian passport which I will always struggle with)who has been in Europe four times.Two as a tourist and the other two for more than 6 months each time (this is the longest one for two years just starting) Finishing now...time is over!! student permit expiring soon! I lived my first traveling experience as a Spanish assistant in Angers France. I traveled as much as I could in those 8 months. Then,(now) I applied for a scholarship and I won it!!! yes! An Erasmus Mundus one. So I am back into traveling (and studying too..not as much,but still..jejeje). I can't provide any accomodation, though I'd love to, but I am open to have a coffe or show around the city where I live (Granada until february 2008) Reims for the whole 2008. I am in Reims now although I can't change it in the location options...nowadays location should not be part of the verified things...people move so often. Anyway...Reims is my home now until summer break. I am in Granada at the moment. Forget Reims please.Update: I lived in Granada and Reims, now I am back in Colombia, but in Bogotá this time.

PHILOSOPHY

I haven't really thought about it. I guess it is to live the present and live making the people around you happy.

Me encanta bailar. Bailo de todo, salsita, merengue, bachata y reggaeton. Creo que soy buena bailando ;)

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Nothing that I can remember. I am a pretty ordinary girl ;) jejejeje.
Now there is something I do remember...and it was going to a Badeschifft in Berlin completely naked. Yes, I know, it is pretty normal in Northern Europe and I guess in Berlin too, but i couldn't help feeling a bit unfit and shy when taking off the towel and showing my body to a bunch of strangers and seeing them as well. It was quite a nice experience after the initial embarrassement. I'm up for a naked mixed sauna again!
PS: The same happened to me when witnessing the top less in summer.I guess in Latin America we are a bit more self-concious.

Lehren, lernen, teilen

I guess you can learn from everybody, even if it is how "not to be"... jejeje But I prefer the listed above.
I like people who dont make a big deal out of anything, who would try to enjoy even the most extreme situation.I like optimistic people!

Talking seriously,I am a language teacher...I speak and write fluently Spanish (mother tongue), English and French. I have become good at teaching basic salsa, merengue and bachata. I don't use the counting though...
