ABOUT ME

Hi, my name is Bets and I'm from Mexico City.
I am very excited about traveling and meeting with other couchsurfers.
I am a screenwriter and just about the most DIY person out there, I'm in love with life, I appreciate peace above anything else, I'm not very concerned about the materialistic bits of life other than the means for traveling and a few music/film gadgets here and there.
I am loud and ecclectic.

PHILOSOPHY

Live, love, learn.
Be at peace, do what you want, be happy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Probably one of the best experiences I've had on travelling was scuba diving in Bocas del Toro, Panama on 2015. That was absolutely amazing!

Teach, Learn, Share

I have always loved to teach others any of the things I know, ans I am very talkative, so feel free to ask.
I love knitting, doing crafts, writing, I loooove cooking, amongst other things.

I am a very curious person which is why I'm always interested in learning new stuff, so pretty much anything you wanna teach me I will be willing to learn :D

I have always believed that capital is just a sham, I believe in trade wholeheartedly so if you wanna trade knowledge you will probably make my day!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have an apartament in Mexico City, It's not huge but it's comfy enough to fit two roomates, my pooch , my kitty (who are btw part of the family) and myself, if you were to stay with us we are usually able to lend either a bed or a couch, we are working on making it easier and comfier for travellers to come here.
I know a big chunk of my country (which is HUGE!) so if you want advice on going out of Mexico City I can probably provide a reliable one, as for being in Mexico City, well, I can take you to all kinds of cool places here, as I have done in the past with many many people, since I worked, when I was younger, as an interpreter for tourist guides, so I know a bunch of curious facts and history of my city, country and culture.
I am VERY proud of my heritage, despite my doubts (for putting it nicely) about the administration of my homecountry, so only ask me if you want to hear the truth :)
