Hi, I am a Chicana-Indegena feminist born in Mexico and raised in Los Angeles. I am currently in graduate school working on a MA in community mental health. I am a vegetarian and mental health/healing justice activist I live in a big beautiful house with 4 other beautiful people in Oakland, CA. I like to spend my time going for walks around Lake Merritt, watching movies (on Netflix), reading , learning Qigong, and boxing.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

I'm new to Couchsurfing and since I will be traveling outside of the US-Mexican border I would like to get to know like minded folks.

Interessen

I am a graduate student in community mental health. I really like talking about alternatives ways of healing/working in mental health that are culturally and spiritually relevant. I spend time attending spiritual ceremonies through the Bay Area and Los Angeles. I like going to music shows, art or community events bringing awareness to culture, politics, race, spiritually, health, and food!
