CURRENT MISSION

Currently living in Ecuador, working a bit and developing some art projects. Returning to Mexico City this September to live and work :)

ABOUT ME

I try to balance my time between movement and art, art by means of drawing/painting and writing/reading. I like to be exhausted at the end of the day, no matter where I am, and so I keep moving and learning new things. I love language, I love meeting new people, and I am hungry to discover the great art and lifestyles of any culture.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is a perfect way for me to really experience a place, meet locals for a good time and learn from other people!

Interests

I am a writer and an artist. In the studio, I focus on painting and drawing.

I read, write, make art and do things outdoors in my free time.

I go out with my friends and roommates a lot, I also love cooking good vegan food!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent part of 2018 working with children and making art in the Bolivian amazon in a town called Riberalta super far away from everything but so deep into a beautiful world and life. Me and another volunteer raised money to help fix some of the infrastructure at the orphanage and in the end, it all went really well... I don't even know how to put it all down here but the experience was super beautiful.

Teach, Learn, Share

I bring with me laughs, and good stories everywhere-- these are the crucial things to carry! I love meeting new people and sharing language and experiences more than anything.

What I Can Share with Hosts

With hosts I look forward to sharing my art, ideas, and language. I love learning languages and new ways of learning. I speak english and strong in french, learning basic italian and spanish but I don't want to stop there... I can share art and music, laughs and drinks.
