About Me

Hi!
I'm a 22 years old friendly mexican, currently living in Iceland for one semester to finish my BSc in Banking and Finance at the Reykjavik University. I'm easygoing, passionate about music, literature, social sciences and nature. I love getting to know new people and different cultures, I love traveling and living in other places so I can get to live the international experience at ist most. I love cooking and would be more than happy to cook mexican food for my hosts (whether spicy or not) :P
Going for some beers to a pub or a bar would be a nice treat for me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I find it a great way to meet new people, making new friends, and getting involved into a whole new experience by getting to know amazing places all over the world while having so much fun.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Having found the way to survive with some friends after getting stuck in the snow between two mountains in the middle of nowhere...

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to teach people the languages I'm fluent in (specially my mother tongue, which is spanish) and I'd love to practice some of the languages I speak, in return. I would love to get to know real travelling experiences and culture from all over the world, I just love it. Sharing moments, living experiences, teaching and learning about life. What else can we ask for?

What I Can Share with Hosts

I would love to share all my experiences and culture/knowledge with them, offer to buy them a drink, invite them to a restaurant, or even cook for them (this is something I enjoy doing so it does not represent a sacrifice at all).
