About Me

CS IS NOT A DATING APP. DON'T SEND ME MSGS IF THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT.
---—------------------------------
Hiiii! My name is Aline, I am from Mexico City and currently finished my career and looking for new experiences :D . In my free time I read books and magazines about industry (as Forbes), I like hanging out with Friends, do some excercise and study Japanese and Swedish :)
In my future plans I would like to travel around the world and learn about different ways of live, cultures and ideas.

My favorite phrase in japanese:
一期一会
"One time, one meeting/Once in a lifetime"

Always taking all the opportunities you can have :) so I rarely say no to new things (food, culture, experiences, etc.)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking for new experiencies, meet people with different ideas, thoughts, sharing what we are to the world!
Also I went to China in an exchange program and visited all the beautiful places there and met locals, made friendships and learnt about their daily lives. Completely an experience out of my comfort zone!

What I have learnt?
I probably don't have the meaning of life, (maybe until I die) so meeting new people makes me think that none is just a country or a culture, each one of us is an individual and my mindset is that we are all citizens of the world!

Interests

[Actually I'm focus on finishing my career and study but planning to travel to different places of Mexico and the world.]->I like this sentence because I wrote it on 2015 and many things have changed until now, it's wonderful to know that I have achieved some part of it and the other part is in progress!

Movies, but not conventional ones; History, I like learning about it; Dancing, Writing, Meeting new people, Budhism.
Also I can say I'm a person who loves listen to others, you can talk to me for hours and it's my favorite thing in the world! (I also talk hehe)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1) Here in Mexico there's a state called Monterrey, there I went to a place called "Matacanes" and do the extreme tour for 12 hours... just watch this video:

2) When I was in China I got lost in the peak of Mountain Huashan, at first I was planning to just spend 1 day to hike there but didn't notice that the only way to go down was by cableway. Lost the cableway down, the mountain was all freezed and I was crying thinking I would die there, luckily some Chinese guys found me and show me a hostal in the peak of the mountain (I didn't know about it), turning a bad experience into a wonderful one. Learn that you can always start your way alone but there will be people that will always help you in the worst scenarios :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I would be glad to share my thougts and everything I know with other people :)
Also I like to give gifts to my hosts, if I ask you to host me or if you ask me to host you will have a coupon to exchange it for everything you want! :D maybe you like collecting coins or plates or anything you want!
