I am a confused concoction of Mexican, American, and Canadian cultures intertwined to create a deep passion for Latin music, swing dancing, tacos and black tea with cream and sugar (alternatively honey as a good sweetener). I come from a large family that has instilled good people skills and an ability to be calm even in loud and chaotic environments. However, there remains a constant desire to be outside whenever possible. In sum, I love sharing crazy adventures with people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travel has been a part of my DNA since I was four years old when my family went on a two week long road trip to Mexico which was only the beginning of a lifetime between cultures, countries, and countless people who have opened up the world to me. It's difficult for me to settle for being a tourist any more. Rather I find it of utmost importance to live alongside the people in any given place and experience their lives first hand. I'm very excited to be part of this couchsurfing community and experience the lives of so many new friends across the world.

-Teaching and performing music (I can play piano, guitar, bass, ukulele and hand percussion).
-Mexican, American and Canadian cultures; where they intersect and how they differ.
