In today´s episode, our guest is Juliane Cole. She was born and raised in the US.

During her time at school, she enjoyed learning Spanish. Later in college, she continued putting effort and time into this language. After her graduation, she got an opportunity to work for the Peace Corps organization and ended up living in Perú.

She spent two years in a small town in the north of Perú. In the beginning, the adaptation to a new culture in a Spanish-speaking environment was a huge challenge. But then, she made a great connection with the community, built strong relationships with the people, and left Perú loving the country.

Now she works as a Spanish teacher in a school in Tucson, Arizona (USA), and has plans to live in another Spanish-speaking country with her husband and three daughters in the coming years.
