About Me

I am a very positive woman who is always keen to help other people!!
I have developed leadership skills in several fields, so that encourages me to support some others and to ask for help when I need it. I have carried out duties with responsibility, compromise and discipline to work methodically, with accuracy and attention to detail. I am also a person with excellent interpersonal skills able to talk to people on different levels and quickly establish rapport. I am a friendly and receptive person with others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have joined the community because I have heard very good comments about it. I feel interested in contributing as much as possible. Besides, I would like to count on help as sometimes is difficult to afford some fees, and it is more rewarding to meet new people around the world.

Interests

I enjoy engaging with different cultures through languages and teaching experiences, as I used to be a language teacher.
I like exploring places, learning by doing and scouting!
I generally read news to be updated with daily and significant events; plus, I enjoy being an amateur cook, share time with my closest friends, and try to follow healthy habits.
I love singing!!

Music, Movies, and Books

My favourite music is pop and all its variations with dance, electronic and funk music.
I really like reading mystery novels, watching any kind of films (though I certainly have my Top10!) and listening to varied music.
My favourite writer is Stephen King.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have come to the UK to study in a foreign language. It has been a new field for me in several ways, so it means too much for my personal achievements! I also worked as a professional singer (whilst working as a language teacher), both for special events or hired in local pubs/bars in my hometown... singing has been a lifelong thing I love doing!

Teach, Learn, Share

I really enjoy teaching/learning language issues. I enjoy listening about other cultures, habits, customs. I'm definitely learning day by day about film studies, my main topics of research and, most of all, about my country Colombia!!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer a small and simple place for one or two people if they plan to visit Leicester, but certainly a good, warm and clean too. Besides, all the possible suggestions to have a good time in the city and nearby.

Countries I’ve Visited
