About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Every single day has a different mission!!!! On a greater scale I am trying to work on my self-development and life purpose. "Solo si nos detenemos a pensar en las pequeñas cosas llegaremos a comprender las más grandes"

ABOUT ME

I come from a small, cozy, all-year summer latin american country which taught me how beautiful a simple life can be. I love small details!. An authentic smile, a warm look, words that encourage. I am in constant need of spontaneity, creativity and the freedom for expressing my feelings. I think the world hosts too many guarded people already.
Nature is amazing for connecting with ourselves, other humans, other living creatures and the loving integration of all of them. I am this girl who embraces emotions and experiences them with gratitude and intensity . I am not afraid of most things or most situations. Some of us are born dancing with a fearless heart. I'm interested in people, their experiences, their feelings and their views.

PHILOSOPHY

"Insist on yourself. Never imitate"
Though ...the moment we decide to start learning more about other things and minds, we suddenly start to become more intimately acquainted with ourselves too. With our belief system, our values, our own meanings.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Human interaction is so enriching to me!. I have experienced the beauty of support from strangers all my life in my beautiful culture and I'm sure there's more in the world! ... and I think we need more of this. I love the entire process of discovering what touches people, bonding with others and finding common ground with them in the most surprising places of each other's personalities.

Music, Movies, and Books

From the Cinematic Orchestra to Florence and the machine to Dream Theater to Bonobo to Bob Marley and so many genres in between!. Irvin D. Yalom, Henry David Thoreau and my beloved latin american novelists are among my favourite. Movies? Hmm... Drama, Psychological thrillers and movies with a philosophical theme are my thing. I like various directors: Iñárritu, David Fincher, Richard Linklater, Wes Anderson and Guy Ritchie's works to name a few.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Leaving behind a life based solely on financial satisfaction ... trying to live a more simplistic but fulfilling life <3.
