About Me

I consider myself a slow-lifer and language learning innovator, and for me traveling is a must. I was born and raised in South Cali, I studied international business in Chula Vista and Zhuhai, China.
At the age of 21 I met a Spaniard, fell in-love and moved to Granada, Spain...our love story lasted 10 amazing years but life took us on different roads. By then I decided I didn't want to come back to the US yet and so I have been happily living in Spain for the last 15 years.
I owe a language boutique, based in Granada, Business Languages & Coaching Solutions. We provides tailor language solutions to professionals of SMEs & start-ups, specifically those in the health, science and tech sector. Currently we are expanding throughout Spain and California.

Cali I am back!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have years of experience doing sightseeing traveling, and now I feel more like traveling to meet the locals, to live the local life, to give to the communities while traveling and to learn from them so that I can know better the people in this world. I have a minor in psychology and have a passion for people.
After 15 years abroad I now want to live and work between both places so I am now on the mission to identify the language needs of professionals here in California or where ever I am visiting, since my goal is to open up language boutiques globally within the next 5 years .
Coachsurfing, from what my friends who use it, tell me it is a great way to meet locals, and "travel" the local way, so looking forward to giving and meeting amazing people, after all I believe the world is full of great people.
