About Me

I'm a Colombian girl working and living in China, who has experienced the Chinese life with local families, trying to learn Mandarin and to understand more and more the Chinese culture

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to make a big network with people who want to preserve the world, contribute to save it through actions and share alternative ways to live and to enjoy life.

Interests

I'm a lover of Asian culture so I'd like to know more about it. I enjoy going to museums and historical places where I can appreciate the great Asian history. I love to practice yoga, meditation and sports. I don't like capitalism, I think there are other ways to live and I hope to meet people with same interests. Please don't even suggest me to go to McD, KFC or so, I'm really happy eating local food and trying new tastes all the time :)

My favourites books are those written by Carlos Castaneda.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Come to China by myself and live with a Chinese families, so far I think is awesome

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Spanish, some English, I'm willing to learn everything that people can teach me, more about yoga and meditation, languages, since I want to improve my skills. I wanna share my knowledge and my opinion with who want to hear.
