Hi everyone!
My name is Mary. I'm originally from Peru but live in Seattle, US since 2012. I lived in Michigan and Chicago before.
I'm a Translator and Interpreter in English/French/English and I have a master's in Student Development Administration.
I love to travel and meet people from different cultures, countries and learn from them.
I travel in my country a lot and in 2005 I moved to US. I have been traveling in the country and in 2009, I traveled to Europe. I visited France and Italy for one month.
Last year, 2015. I visited 11 cities in Europe and I'm planning to travel there again next year.
I'm very sociable and friendly and I would like to meet people who wants to visit Seattle and I can be a good person to contact!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As I had mentioned, i love to travel and meet people from different part of the country and the world. I think that is the only way to learn more about people and their culture and that is one of my passion.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love any kind of movies but my favorite genre is horror movies :)
Like romantic comedies and suspense too.
My favorite genre of books is chick lit like "Confessions of a Shopaholic" and all the serie

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I traveled recently to Alaska alone to see the Northern Lights. I drove alone from Anchorage to Fairbanks and could see it. It was really awesome!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a Spanish teacher so i really enjoy how my students not only learn about the language but also about the culture of the country they are going to visit
I constantly learning not only in a classroom setting but from other people. That is really amazing how other people thinking can change your way of living and make you change your mind set and be more open to other customs.
