About Me

I could say many things, but at the end, I only want to live, truly live.
I grew up in Bolivia and moved to Spain when I was 14. Life has been a process of learning who I am and how to share it with the world.
I'm passionate about education and in this moment I'm an English teacher.

PHILOSOPHY
I really feel that the small gestures of love and kindness can change the entire world.
I believe in jumping into the unknown an letting go the feeling that we are in control of everything.
I believe that the real strength relies in vulnerability and honesty.
I believe that the seed of a new world lies beneath the old one. I believe in a new story of the people, a story based in compassion and love, instead of greed and fear. I believe in us.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I know that I'm here because of all the people that helped me along the way. Human beings of all kinds have opened their homes, shared their tables, told me stories and listened to mine. Whenever I felt lost or lonely, there was always someone there to give me a hand.
And now I just want to do the same for other people. I think that's the way it is supposed to work. I want to share what I have and keep taking leaps of faith, trusting people and life.

Interests

I love writing. It makes feel alive and gives me the opportunity to express myself freely.
I'm passionate about education, learning and specially listening. I think we need to learn how to truly listen to each other.
I really enjoy outdoors, walking barefoot and swimming in cold waters.
I like dancing, running, climbing trees and doing push-ups. I also like taking naps after eating beans with rice.
I like sunsets and sunrises. I like the greens of the trees and the blue of the sky. I like feeling alive and being conscious of the beatings of my heart.
Also, if someone is interested, I love basketball, the San Antonio Spurs and Manu Ginóbili, and Patty Mills!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I don't think life can be reduce to a single moment. I firmly believe that the single fact of being alive is amazing.
Just last weekend I went to a park and covered myself in mud. Then I started running and chanting. There was a rainbow on the sky and cold wind blowing in my face. I was happy. It was amazing.
