About Me

I am 37 years old, mother of a 6 year old son. We have been living in Mexico, Spain, Austria and Peru and travelled all over Europe. Before he was born I worked and lived in Guatemala, Mexico, Cuba, Columbia and in diverse European countries. I write novels, plays and short stories. I work as an editor and publish international poetry. I studied Art Photography, Philosophy and Latin American Studies in Vienna and Maynooth. I like to work with children, babies and indigenous people. My favourite places are Oaxaca (Mexico), Begur (Spain), Taizé (France) and Dingle (Ireland). I would love to travel to Iceland and New Zealand soon.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I live in a small village in Lower Austria and I would like to stay connected with international people, generosity, open life... I met great people via CS and they have been a great inspiration for me to lead an open and joyful life.
