Overview
About Me
Hi there!
I come originally from Mexico, currently living and studying a master in Berlin. I am a very friendly and sociable person.... I go through the world being optimistic, spontaneous, and adventurous, constantly changing and adapting, and remain curious about the world around me! I am fascinated by topics such as agriculture, nature protection, farmer movements and indigenous peoples rights... love to learn about agricultural societies and farming traditions in every place I go!
I spent the last few years traveling through India, Asia, Africa, Europe and South America working on farms! I like traveliing this way, and off the beaten track given the great impact of tourism.
Now I find myself finishing my one-year journey through South America for research purposes, heading back to Berlin.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I have not been using this website as much as I would like to, given that I had a bad experience in the past. However, I've heard great stories from friends and believe its time to give it another try!
Interests
I am highly interested in understanding how the world works and how humans shape the earth. I love exploring new regions and getting the essence of a place by capturing moments with the camera, exploring the place's flavours and smells in the markets, hiking and exploring beautiful landscapes...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Lived in an airport for 2,5 months - stuck on stand by list!
Laying among hundreds of flamingos on a desolated island in Mexico.
Going to a surreal labyrinth lost in the middle of the rainforest.
Becoming a pilot
Running away from elephants in Sr Lanka
Diving in the glorious seas of Indonesia and Philippines
Being deported from Germany (and manage to revert it!)
What I Can Share with Hosts
I really enjoy indulging in nice and interesting conversations, keen on spending time getting to know my hosts, either by going around the city, or staying in for a cozy evening. And would be more than happy to return the favour once I'm back in berlin, and have a big nice room and many spares mattresses! Know the city quite well and can tell you lots about my beloved berlin. :)
