I am an adventurer, economist and historian. I am eager to learn about the perspective of others. I worked for a history museum for three years. Now, I am traveling the world - seeking out my best education and greater understanding of the world. In September 2015, I will begin teaching English in Bolivia.

Hola! Soy una aventurera , escritora , estudiante de idiomas , y amante de las ciencias sociales. Estoy ansiosa para aprender español y sobre la historia y de Colombia. Durante tres años, estuve encargada de la Dirección de Marketing y Educación en el museo Matheson History en Gainesville, Florida en los Estados Unidos. Adicionalmente, enseñé inglés en Perú, y Bolivia.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I spent many evenings trying to learn about the world by reading books, it was GREAT! Now ,I learn by traveling.

Cuando era más joven, aprendía sobre el mundo porque leí muchos libros y ví muchos documentales. Ahora, suramerica es mi escuela alternativa
