One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I once lived in Haiti for two months following the 2010 earthquake, two of the most life changing months of my life.
I studied at a Spanish school in Madrid in 2017, really felt like I was a Madrileña!
Teach, Learn, Share
I love speaking Spanish, dancing, laughing, and listening to people’s stories! Cooking is something that I am a novice at, but in the last year I have become much more courageous and have found a love for learning to cook new dishes. So if you like cooking, I am here for it!
What I Can Share with Hosts
My Mexican culture, stories about growing up in the US, teaching you English and Spanish. I have traveled to 40 countries and over 40 States in the US and would love to share my experiences and help with any of your future travel plans :) Last, I am a huge advocate for education and public service, so if you are someone who also enjoys this or would like to learn more, I would be more than happy to do so.
