COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

1. traveling in Greece. Met four fantastic couch surfers an hope to meet more!
2. hometown in Michigan, USA
3. Met friends in Brazil where I live now

en grecia. conoci a cuatro surfistas y todo ha sido fantastico! Luego, conoci a unos amigos en mi ciudad natal. Ahora voy conociendo a gente en Brazil

Interests

i love mexico. and spain and france, italy and greece! Can't wait for more travels in Italy and Europe over the next three years...

Se quedo mi corazon en Mexico, tambien me encantan Espana, Italia, Francia.... es que me gusta mucho viajar. Ahora estoy viviendo en brazil pero voy a vivir en Italia. La cosa es que creo que es mejor pasar algo de tiempo en un solo lugar o pais en vez de ser tan tourista y ver nada mas las vistas principales. ademas es mejor hacer amigos que te pueden ensenar lo mas bueno.

Music, Movies, and Books

i read pretty indiscriminately, although being an English major, I do know good from bad. :) I love to watch movies, but hardly ever more than once-- I don't even own hardly any. I love movies with good cinematography, like the films of Tran Anh Hung, or any that portrays the everyday lives of people in places different from where I live.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

i lived in spain for one year, mexico for two, and now Brazil. there are too many wonderful experiences to share, but they usually involve the people i've met along the way. :)

Vivi en Espana durante un anio, Mexico por dos, y ahora vivo en Brazil. hay bastantes momentos lindos en todo eso que no puedo escoger, pero casi siempre se tratan de amigos que les conoci alla. actualizacion: me mudo a Brasil dentro poco para quedarme dos anios y aprender portugues!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach English or Spanish-- lots of practice with both. I can cook. I would love to learn to sew (I can do buttons, but that's it!), speak French, Italian, any language, and dance better (love those cumbias!)
Asi que era maestra de los idiomas ingles y espanol, puedo dar una acesoria de eso. Tengo ganas de aprender coser, bailar los bailes latinamericos, y hablar cualquier lengua.
