PERSONAL IFORMATION
Castillian, also known as Spanish, is my native tongue. I came from Peru, South America as a child with my family. When I was seventeen I studied and lived in Paris, France as an exchange student. I have traveled throughout the U.S.A., Europe and South America with my husband and three sons.
