About Me

CURRENT MISSION
Seeking people to meet, places to stay and community to explore in Mexico City!

ABOUT ME

I'm an all around very positive person. I love learning about new cultures and experiencing life in the shoes of another. Traveling is one of my greatest passions in life and I look forward to continue my explorations through couchsurfing.

I suppose my friends would say I'm very goofy, friendly and generous. I have no trouble making new friends wherever I go and establishing lasting relationships. I'm a drama-free, fun-loving lady with lots to share and an eagerness to learn.

PHILOSOPHY

Do what makes you happy, don't hurt anybody and take care of yourself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Meeting people, connecting people, and showing them around the Bay Area.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I lived in South San Francisco between 2010-2011 and my roommate/landlord at the time, was a retired CS Ambassador. I met a few CSers from Italy, Sweden and different states in the USA. I was immediately drawn to the website and decided to do some couchsurfing of my own. So far I've met surfers from Thailand, Canada, Cuba and Mexico!

Interests

When I'm not busy with work, I enjoy exploring neighboring cities with friends and the different districts and the communities within them. In my spare time I love dancing, gardening, and spending time outdoors and in playful environments.
