About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Finishing my MA in Spanish and getting ready to work abroad!

ABOUT ME

I first participated as a couch surfer in Mexico in summer 2009 when I travelled around with friends from DF to Veracruz, San Cristobal, Oaxaca and then back to DF. I love to swim, scuba dive, be active in the outdoors, speak Spanish, learn foreign languages, etc.
