About me

My name is Diana Vidal and I'm 26 years old. I'm from Uruguay, a small country in South America, between Argentina and Brazil; usually known because of soccer, "mate" (what I'm drinking in the previous picture), "candombe" and "murgas".
I was born in Colonia del Sacramento. It's a beautiful historical and touristic place in Southwestern Uruguay.

 

 

In 2006 I moved to Montevideo (Uruguay's capital city) to study and work. I've been living here since then, leaving my family and friends in Colonia; however, I go there once a month.

I became an English teacher in December 2007 and I started working in a bi-national private English Institution Alianza Uruguay - Estados Unidos, where I've taught children, teens and adults, especially in basic and intermediate levels so far (A1 and 2, B1 and 2 in the Common European Framework).

I'm also studying Linguistics at the University, working as a volunteer in the Latin American NGO Techo and actively participating in activities of the Catholic Youth. Last year I was participating in a young "murga" (check out the link I added in the first paragraph), singing, but I had to stop doing it because I started to have problems in my vocal cords.

I live with my beautiful cat Mimi, which I adopted at the beginning of 2012 and I have a boyfriend called Mauricio.
