Hi! My name is Tara. I'm from Chicago in the states, but just finished up my first year living in Medellin, Colombia. I'm currently working at an international school teaching middle school, planning on using my vacation time to travel as much as possible!

I am very extroverted and energetic, and enjoy meeting new people and any social scenarios and settings! I have an open mind and open heart which I hope will lead me to many meaningful and memorable connections and experiences.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I think it's an amazing way to travel and meet people who can give you an inside look at their city as well as an opportunity for me to show others what I love about the place where I live.

兴趣

I enjoy being active and outside as much as possible! My favorite outdoor activities include hiking and rollerblading. I also like spending a day laying in a park and people watching. I listen to a lot of podcasts, watch movies and tv shows, and read in my downtime. I like to play group sports and love playing games.
I like to cook at home but also love going out to eat to try new restaurants. I like trying new foods, I am not a picky eater and will try anything once, but if it's really gross, tell me what it is after I've already eaten it!
I like learning new things, and this year I've been working on learning to salsa 💃🏼
I enjoy spending time with friends and family and going out for drinks and dancing.

音乐、电影和书籍

Big fan of any live music, especially outdoor concerts/festivals. The music I listen to at any given time depends on my mood and activity, but I always have a particular soft for 90s/00s R&B and hip-hop and lately lots of reggaeton. I appreciate any good music and talent regardless of genre and especially love anything I can dance to. Also have a slight obsession with watching music videos.
I love having movie nights! I try to watch all the movies nominated for best picture each year. Some of my favorites include: E.T, Life is Beautiful, A Bronx Tale, and Dirty Dancing.
I read whenever I can, mostly over summer vacations. I like reading thrillers, narrative nonfiction, history/historical fiction and books about social issues. I've probably reread Harry Potter the most.
