And a little bit more....
I am…a Colombo Mexican French American language teacher and blogger!!!
This
translates into …
Colombian by
birth.
I
had a very happy and lucky childhood in one of the highest capitals in the
Andes, Bogota, and AKA as the “Athens of South America”.
Mexican by
adoption.
My
adolescence was shaped in one of the largest and always bustling cities in the
world, Mexico City.
French by
heart and soul.
From
kindergarten until my last day of college I was in French educational
institutions.
My
university years, (with a Masters degree in letters and languages) and some more, were
spent in the French Riviera, Nice! And my first real job as an adult was at the
glamorous and beautiful Palace at the Principality of Monaco, where I improved
my Italian and German studies from school.
American by
citizenship.
I have been
living in the coveted Silicon Valley in the state of California for 19 years! And
teaching since then… French and Spanish at various elementary schools, high
schools, and privately at my home office…
I do as well some interpreting and translation jobs.
I do as well some interpreting and translation jobs.
I am married
to an engineer, a Western New Yorker who has always supported my decisions.
Besides growing together and feeding from our opposite backgrounds, we take
care of our beloved Huskies.
And lately a
craft Blogger.
Since
I discovered the world of stamping in 2008, my life is so much fuller…
A
total new and unique world has open to my eyes…
Languages,
teaching, decorating and creating have being present throughout all my life…but
since I discover the world of card-making these passions within myself have
exploded…
I
being very lucky to be able to combine and share these passions not only
through classes at my local craft store and at my home…But now here in the
"Blogosphere".
In
2012, by coincidence and at the
same time that I was “conceptualizing” this Blog, I was offered the privileged
to be part of the Memory Box design team and I started posting at The “Outside the Box” blog. In 2013, I began running the Spanish and French blogs for Memory Box.
Teaching, decorating
my home, collecting Nativities from around the world, organizing
my craft room, stamping, crafting, dancing, meditating and last and lately
writing in the blogs are my “motor” pleasures and hobbies. Besides this, I love
to travel too, discover new foods people and cultures.
Thanks for
visiting my Blog.
