About Me

NYC born and raised. My parents and family are from Colombia and Puerto Rico. At 25 I moved to Florida and stayed in the sun for a while. Since late 2016 I've been living in charming Cologne and I am quite happy here. Europe life is definitely for me. Colombia is a special place for me, and I need to visit much more of Latin America someday, somehow. Travel fascinates me and gives my life constant purpose. Must seeeee moooooore!!

Teach, Learn, Share

I started to teach English when I came overseas. Now I work as an English teacher in a school for kids and teens. I like to explain things and have a passion for giving someone the gift of knowledge. I will teach Spanish someday too...so I'm always looking to practice and improve my Spanish and German and learn even more languages.
