Hi, my name is Isabella. I'm born and raised in London and my dad is 'New Rican' (puerto rican raised in new york)
I would love the opportunity to connect with my puerto rican roots and connect with the island.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meet new people and save money

Interests

Interest that define me - animals, books, charity work, entrepreneurship and spirituality

What motivates me to travel - connecting with nature, digital detox, finding purpose, giving back, practicing languages

I would say I'm a pretty experienced traveller - we didn't come from much money but we went on a trip every year which I think ignited my passion for travelling, immersing myself in other cultures and getting to know people from different walks of life.

I've been to Colombia, Thailand, Morocco, USA, Puerto Rico, Italy, France, Spain to name a few...

I worked in mexico for a year back in 2014 and also in Chile in 2017. I also worked remotely in Miami and the Bahamas back in 2021 and Cape Town in 2022

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lived on a canal boat in London for nearly 3 years

Teach, Learn, Share

My skills include:
* Native english speaker and almost fluent in Spanish (learnt a little spanish from my dad but mainly learn from living in mexico for a year back in 2014 and chatting with my best friends family who is colombian, along with music and film and chatting with anyone speaks spanish that I come across!)
* Cooking (I never get bored in the kitchen)
* Teaching English (taught for 1 year at university in mexico and for a month in DR via workaway)
* Charity experience (I have 3 years experience in social enterprise in the UK and Chile)
* Gardening (I love nature)
* Social media, website development, content curation, SEO... and all things marketing (8 years experience!)
But really I'm keen to get stuck in and help out in any way! Eager to learn as much as possible, meet the locals and integrate myself in the culture
