About Me

Hey there!
I'm a person that was born (and raised) in Venezuela, and has been on a crazy journey from that wonderful time in 1996. Since then, I've been moving around trying to do some relevant stuff for me, my close ones, and for this madness called society we are living!
I've studied, worked, learned, experienced, and failed at many things, and I'm planing on keeping doing that for the rest of my live.

I've studied, worked, learned, experienced, and failed at many things, and I'm planing on keeping doing that for the rest of my life.

Currently I live in Barcelona with my family, working with kids and sometimes adults, collaborating with some local projects, practicing yoga to keep me grounded, looking forward to study (something, someday), and willing to meet new people and do fun/creative/different things! (s)

Want to know more about me? Just get in contact, let's exchange our biographies. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to travel... a lot! Plus, I'm interested in people and their culture.
I hate all the protocol of hotels and tourist guides that most of the people do. I don't want to spend my money like that, nor that I have enough to do it...
I really want to be able to meet locals, see how people live and the places they go... get the full experience!
It's different, challenging, and exciting!
For me couchsurfing is all about connecting with people and the cultural exchange between hosts and guests...

Interests

I love to read, watch a movie, crochet, cook....
Literature... anthropology...
DANCE (in the streets, clubs, theaters, your house, everywhere!)
Trying to live the yogi life (so hard)
Martial Arts
and cycling around!

“ALICE
She drank from a bottle called DRINK ME
And she grew so tall,
She ate from a plate called TASTE ME
And down she shrank so small.
And so she changed, while other folks
Never tried nothin’ at all.”

Some dancing, a poem or a song, spanish, and a good diner!
