I'm a freelance travel journalist from Caracas, Venezuela. Eight years ago I decided to quit my job in order to travel around the world and share the stories on my blog www.viajaelmundo.com and different magazines. I just travel and write, that's my way to be happy. You can read my travels on my blog but also on National Geographic Traveler LatinAmerican magazine. In 2017 I published my first book in spanish: “Mapa reverso [retazos de viaje]” A diary of my first five years of solo travel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because is the best way to meet people, learn of them. I feel better with someone I can talk to. I usually travel alone so, it’s the best way to make friends and learn.

Music, Movies, and Books

MUSIC. I love the rhythms of the world, I feel them. Jazz, blues and a good salsa. Oh! I love merengue. MOVIES. All the movies, bad and goods, should be seen in the cinema. I love "The legend of 1900" or "Under the Tuscan sun". But also, I love Marvel or Harry Potter. BOOKS. I read since I was a child. I prefer to talk about writers as: Angeles Mastretta, Andrés Neuman, Juan Carlos Méndez Guédez, Paul Theroux, Paul Auster, Santiago Gamboa. I love to read in spanish.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Quit my office job to travel? It was definitely amazing 💛

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love cook, so I can cook Venezuelan food, talk about our customs and maybe you will want to ask me about the situation in my country and I will tell you how we are fighting for freedom. I also take good pictures (I guess) and I can take photos of you around the city.
