I was born and raised in Mexico City, Mexico. I thrive off of its energy and places like it. Growing up the daughter of a Mexican father and an American mother and going to a French immersion school made me trilingual. I’ve lived in three countries and been to a few more.

I studied environmental studies and journalism in school. I then moved to New York City, got into audio work, and am now traveling for a year for a project about photography. I love to spend time with friends and family, to cook and talk and connect. I love the ocean, gardening, laughing, dancing, and being in the sun.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I travel a lot and love meeting people along the way. I am embarking on a year of travel and hope to spend genuine time with local people (bonus if you're okay with me photographing you at some point, a portrait <3 I can send it to you after). I love enjoying simple things and new experiences with people, getting to know them over at table full of food.

Interests

A large part of who I am is my desire to connect with people— I love storytelling. I I love to tell and hear others’ stories, to see the world in their perspective. It’s an incredible thing.
