World Travel and Latin American Folklore.

I have spent over fifteen years living and traveling through Latin America. I currently reside in the country in Perez Zeledon Costa Rica near a bird reserve. I have also cruised in Europe, Asia, Australia and the South Pacific. Because of my extensive travels, I find it easy to talk to talk to English learners from other countries.

Over the years, I have also developed interests in Latin American music , dance. and folk medicines. I have worked as a volunteer and member for several non profit Latin American organizations in Miami . I have also learned how to play the quena, a latin American flute. and have watched many Latin American music shows and carnivals. in Bolivia, Peru, Brazil and Costa RIca.
