About Me

Hello! My husband and I have moved to South America for the next year or two to travel, live, and work. We currently live and work in Medellín, Colombia.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We're on Couchsurfing to meet new people and have a more personal travel experience.

Interests

Reading, translating, dance (ballet, modern/contemporary), languages, learning about different cultures and histories, wandering around new towns and cities, exploring different local cuisines.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: I tend to like a lot of classics, old (e.g. Pride and Prejudice) and new (e.g. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest)

Music: Depends on my mood, but I'm open to anything but popular country music from the U.S. I like rap, rock, electronic, classical, opera, different kinds of Brazilian music, lots of stuff.

Movies: I tend not to enjoy dramas if they're too dark and disturbing. I'm a sucker for the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit movies. I like most comedies.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My husband is a wonderful cook! ...And I am a wonderful dish washer! Haha! We can also offer English lessons and translation assistance (Spanish to English is best). We're also happy to just hang out and talk, watch a movie, and attend local events in your town with you. We can have conversations in English or Spanish, and if our brains are up to it, Italian.
