THE TEAM
Susanne Chabara, GMS, M. Ed.
Moving to another place is like closing the door to a familiar past and opening another to an unfamiliar future. This can be incredibly daunting and the luggage you bring is not limited to clothing and shoes. I have travelled all my life and know how hard it is to adjust to a new place with or without speaking the language. I draw from years of ‘on the ground’ experience in the Middle East, Europe, Asia, North and South America, having relocated often to live and work as a reporter and English language instructor. I understand the challenges, am familiar with the pitfalls and know how to navigate unfamiliar territory. After settling in Tampa, I got my Masters in Education and partnered with Natalia to establish Cross Culture Concierge. I want to help you find what you need and get what you want so you can settle in and resume a normal life quickly.

Natalia Richards, M. Ed.
I’m a Tampa native, and have a Bachelor and Masters degree in Education, with an endorsement in ESL, from the University of Tampa. I worked as an ESL teacher in Western Massachusetts for five years before moving back to Tampa. I’ve travelled extensively throughout Asia, Australia and Europe. Traveling has always been a culmination of learning about local cultures, navigating my way through foreign lands, and experiencing unique opportunities. I worked as a translator in Madrid, and helped international students connect with apartment renters to find accommodations. I lived in Ollantaytambo, Peru, and was the Educational Coordinator for a health-education based non-profit. Most recently, I was an English instructor at the University of Tampa. I taught international university and professional students for 18 months. As of October 2016, I partnered with Susanne, to start Cross Culture Concierge. I am now combining my experience in education with my passion for cultures.
