I have just returned from living in South America for 3 years. I arrived there speaking about 5 words of Spanish, and after a few months was working as a communications consultant, doing interpreting, translating, web site copy writing, and teaching in a university (the latter 2 in English).I love travel and making friends across the globe. I am very passionate and spiritual, and I believe every experience, good or bad, is a learning opportunity. I love to laugh and make people laugh. I don't like the 9 to 5 lifestyle or having a boss;I love the variety and autonomy that my consulting provides. I am a photographer with 7 public showings under my belt, but I am still learning the technical aspects of photography. I can't live without music, and I love just about everything from classical to latin, just not rap, hip hop or country. I love to go dancing, going to cultural events, walking around the city, hiking, or just hanging out over tea. I have a group of wonderful friends with whom I spend a lot of time, because my experience has taught me to treasure every opportunity to give and receive love, and to live for today. I love animals and they love me. I'm known as Chica Mala by friends in several countries, but not for the reason you might think. Soy una princessa but not in the traditional sense- no hair products, very little make-up if any, no high heels, and no attitude. I will challenge you!

For a first date, I would enjoy getting to know you over coffee or a walk around the city or a park: something low key that allows us to talk and get to know each other.
