Travel information

I am currently

Description

I am a lifelong learner who enjoys exploring new cultures through dance, food and conversation. I value community and often volunteer for events in my area including environmental clean ups, cultural festivals, and food banks. Nature grounds me and reminds me how connected everything is. Healthy movement motivates me so I am usually engaging in some kind of fitness. When I'm not on the go I like to read, write or create art.

More details about my language interests
I have lived abroad and while languages take practice I am tenacious about learning. My native language is English but my second language is Spanish. My family is Peruvian and I spent time studying abroad in Spain and Costa Rica to improve my Spanish. While I was there I took French but still have a very beginner level of comprehension. I always try to learn a few words and phrases while I'm abroad.

More details about your skills

I have been a certified personal trainer and group exercise instructor for nearly 10 years. I do a bit of everything; running, swimming, dancing, cycling, kickboxing, soccer, volleyball, weight training and yoga. I enjoy public speaking as I'm a professor and also present at conferences but have also done volunteer work in classrooms ages 4-12. I coached soccer for a few years ages 8-10 so I enjoy working with kids and learning from them as well. Human connection is very important to me. I love meeting new people and celebrating our what brings us together and what makes us unique.
