I am a Colombian girl who wants to travel and discover different places, cultures, dishes, styles of life, music, rhythms, and more else around the world, I like the adventure, and I think listening to people about their experiences is my best way to learn new things. The life is so short, and I don't want to miss the opportunity to explore and grew up living the present, which is the best gift that we have now. I consider I am an easy going person, reliable, respectful, values that I have learned from my home since I was a child.

Temporary, I am living in New York City. Currently I am an Au Pair taking care of three cute children whom I love and enjoy spending time together, with this experience I have been able to improve my English skills and to visit different and amazing places in United Stated, and before to come back to my country to work in my career like accountant; I would like taking advantage, and visiting another places abroad.

Music, Movies, and Books

Talking about music I can say that my favorite genre is salsa music. However, it is depends of my mood; I like to heard classical or jazz music when I feel anxious or tired, I like to heard pop music in the morning because I can feel energetic to start a new day, when I am in a party is easier for me to dance reggae and merengue, and when I am with my friends usually, we heard rock music in Spanish or English.

I don't like horror movies the times that I have seen those kind of movies I haven't been able to sleep well for nights. Although, I don't watch TV so much, but I like romantic, comedy, thriller movies; among my favorite are "Time," " The Millers Family," and "The Famille Belier."

The last books that I have read are "No Place Like Home by Mary Higgins Clark," "The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell," "Who Moved My Cheese by Spencer Johnson," and "Before You Quit your Job by Robert Kiyosaki," "La Visita A Un Nuevo Mundo Feliz," I should say that every book has good stories which I have learned some things to apply in my life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I like extreme sports, my two last years in Colombia I had been spending time with my middle brother and my friend in places that we could do something and break the daily routine. I was doing paragliding, diving, rafting, rappelling, reverse bungee jumping, and I dream doing ski in France.

Also, my favorite hobby is to play the guitar. I would have liked to study music, but it is fine I can do it to get fun. Besides, I like to take care of my body and my health I like to play tennis, swim, and eat vegetables and fruits.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to teach, it is one of the things in my life that I really enjoy, I think when I can teach something to other one I am leaving some of me in a place or in a heart. I can teach my native language(Spanish), Colombian food, and play guitar.

What I Can Share with Hosts

We can enjoy passing time talking about the culture in my country and your country, experiences that I have lived while we are cooking some food, eating or listening to music.
