About Me

I'm a chill girl who likes to enjoy peaceful times and a good talk with interesting people.

So, I'm 22 and a very curious gal. I like the weird or the unusual be so in art, music, places and quirks of people. Often times I prefer off the beaten path adventures rather than the main attractions but both are a pleasure to behold and experience.

I'm studying my undergrad on International Relations at UNAM (Mexico) and right now I'm on a exchange program at Higher School of Economics in Russia.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm in couchsurfing because I want to get to know places by heart, from a local point of view. And it's like having not one but two adventures at once since getting to know new people is a whole experience on itself. I like to meet different kinds of people, and get to know a bit (or a lot) of how life has turned them on who they are. Also, pub crawls are a must :))

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Saw the Northern lights from the window of my plane. The light "crossed" and engulfed the plane. Almost an abduction.
