Hola! Hello! My name is Christine and I'm 100% Mexican (1/2 Jalisco 1/2 Michoacán). In March of 2023 I left my "normal life" in the US to experience and see what living really is.

For the past 12 years, I've worked in the busy world of entertainment/Hollywood and always seemed to "live to work" rather than "working to live" and immense stress lead me to the hospital a couple times. Plus, I felt disconnected from a more grounding life.

In short, I decided to reconnect with my true passions - art, photography, creative writing and meditation - by taking onto this journey alone in this beautiful world.

I recently learned about Couch Surfing and I'm excited to experience other places and cultures with the help of a lovely host 😊

Music, Movies, and Books

LOTS of movies (I used to work in the film industry so I had to watch all sorts of movies - still not a fan of horrors/thrillers though). I'm a sucker for Rom-Coms and anything with Will Ferrell, Denzel Washington, Julia Roberts, Leonardo DiCaprio, Johnny Depp and Eugenio Derbez in it!

I've been a teacher and tutor to various institutions/organizations in the past. Areas of expertise:
