	Lives in:	Colombia bogotà
	Sex:	female
	Born in:	United Kingdom
	Has traveled in:	On this trip I have travelleved to Perú, styed in Arequipa for 4 months volunteering,m then travelled north, did the Machu Picchu trek(alternative Salkantay, not Inca trail) went through Trujillo, Piales and entered Ecuador through Loja. I visited Cuenca(beautiful place just north of Loja) and saw Quito(bleurgh!) then passed through Otavalo before entering Colombia. In Colombia I have been to the coffee region, Armenia and Salento and briefly passed through Cali before coming to Bogotá where I have been living for 5 months. I went to Barranquilla for carnival and also have visited Cartagena, Santa Marta and the awesome Parque Tayrona. Aside from this trip I have been to New York, Copenhagen, Lisbon, Stockholm, and Germany- to Berlin, Hamburg, Hannover and Hamlin.
	Wants to travel to:	I plan to head South, through the Amazon to Bolivia, then on to Argentina, after that, who knows???
	Favourite traveling style:	I always crave what I´m NOT doing! For example, I love doing whatever, whenever, and not knowing what the next day will bring, meeting lots of people, seeing lots of places, but I also love settling down somewhere for a while, half a year or so, really getting used to a place and the people, and developing a sense of community. I am rubbish at budgeting, but having said that, my accommodation and travel is always cheap...all my money goes on beer and food! I have so far avoided taking planes anywhere(except from England initially) and I intend to keep it that way until(if I ever) go back to the UK.
	About (hobbies etc...)	I am a fashion designer/pattern cutter by trade, and I guess til now I have been having a break from my career because I didn´t want to settle somewhere long term without ever travelling because I knew whatever I acheived in my career I would resent! Right now, I am teaching English to really small kids, and I would like to start a company in fashion design with indigenous textile methods in South America, although I am not sure where at this point!

my only advise in re buenas aires is be safe and have fun.

you sound like an interesting young lady and share--i believe--an interest in textiles. next time you cruise colombia, avoid all the other fal de ral places and just go to medallo. your questions will be answered. my specialty is textiles and could 'jaw' ad nauseum on the subject. so next time you're back in the land of the almost free--colombia--rattle my cage, we'll chat and i'll hook you up with some interesting folks.
