About Me

ABOUT ME

**This is not tinder! Stop sending messages with no formal requests, I won't answer to them**

Happy, open and free person. I lived in France for 7 months and there is were I discover Couchsurfing. Love good food, specially pizza, red wine (of courseeeee!), great live music, good talks and intercultural events no matter what they are! Moved to Chengdu two years ago and moving out soon.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to meet new people and I plan to travel around the world some day so starting to meet contacts of any country since now!
I believe the best way to explore a city is to get with locals, since I worked with travel agencies and I know that what they present is just a very small part of the true beauty of a place.

Interests

Dance, enjoy good talks, read, good movies, learning new stuff party and eat!
Recently into drawing cartoons and learning more about Chinese culture!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love any kind of live music.. really. One of my favorite books is The paradise in the other corner of Mario Vargas Llosa, I love this author! I read a lot so my list of great books is big.. "Payment" for the night you are staying can be any book, postal, bottle (of alcohol of course) or free concert you want to leave in my small beautiful house! :D (I don't ask you for an actual payment, its just a literary way of putting it)
Other books: (Most recent ones) Primavera con una esquina rota, Mario Benedetti; Harry Potter series, La sombra del viento, The pillars of the Earth, Canasta de cuentos mexicanos.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One time I ate crocodile (I wouldn't accept it but I didnt know!): my trip to France has the greatest stories ever! And now: graduated and decided to come to China (so imagine how crazy is going to get!)
During finals at the university I travel 12h to get to one of the biggest beach parties in Mexico and to celebrate the Mexican Independence day while taking care of my German friend and I manage to score medium high tests even without studying or even sleeping for three days.. I think that's awesome!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn about the culture and history of all the countries, I study International Relations so the World is my passion. Share with me any amazing story, picture or data and I will share the same of my beautiful Mexico. If you are learning Spanish I can give you some advice on what to read or check out so you get better.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have a big comfortable couch in my appartment in a open but nice space. I'm still discovering the city too so we can do it together! :) Whenever you are at my house (your house) I like to share my life and the best of what I have to offer. This is the idea of "My house is your house"/ Mi casa es tu casa of the Mexican culture and as an embassador of my country I like to show off the hospitality of my people cause its one of the biggest things we have to be proud of.
