About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Aprender sobre el mundo pero sobre todo sobre mi. Learning about the world but mostly about myself.

ABOUT ME
Viajera, curiosa, observadora, buena oyente y admiradora total de la capacidad del ser humano para sorprender ( para bien o para mal ja!). Me encantan las largas caminatas y las buenas conversaciones...sobre la vida.

I'm cool girl :), sister of four, proud aunt, good daughter, loyal friend an people person. I' m kind of complicated but with a simple life. I tried to be a lawyer but I realize ( a litle bit late) that this career wasn't for me. What I really love is telling stories, knowing interesting people and learning from them. So I work as a journalist since 2007 and couldn't be happier with this decision :).
I'm a dreamer so I believe in dreams coming true and of course I try to do my best to make them real.

PHILOSOPHY

"Life is nice, but noone said that nice means easy". Mafalda
"Happiness is not about how much you get, but how much people love you."
"We can't change wind direction but we can adjust our sails".
"If it's meant to be, will be."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Curioseando en las redes me encontré con esta comunidad tan interesante y llamativa. Era 2007 y recién empezaba a escucharse de esto en mi país. Hice un reportaje para una revista local y en el camino de concretar esa historia conocía a gente súper interesante y generosa con su tiempo y sus historias. Tanto me gustó la idea que tras el reportaje, empecé un proyecto propio de revista de viaje con las historias, experiencias y colaboraciones de los amigos CS.
I kwew about Cs years ago, when I was looking for a good story to tell. I got fascinated with this idea of travelers sharing experiences, time and even his own house with people you've never seen before. I learned so much of the CS ambassadors I got in touch with for the article i wrote. I've known so many interesting ansn generous people iand I immediately realize this was a such a great project because of the values involved and all the life experiences you can hear about. I'ts been a while since I wrote the article about Cs project in a magazine from Lima (Somos) . Then, inspired for the great stories and the good pictures i got to see with my new CS friends, I published a magazine with some stories and tips from couchsurfers.

Music, Movies, and Books

Well, it's not easy to make a list but let's try. In music I'm pretty eclectic..I like tango, but also classical music (I looove Chopin). I like U2, Radiohead, Pink Floyd, Coldplay, Keane. I also enjoy 80's music, jazz, bossa nova, rock, Silvio Rodriguez, Sui Generis, bachatas, not so much salsa but I can learn :).
About movies, I like Amenabar and Woody Allen and I remember all the movies that make me think about life, death and love: Crash, La vita e bella, Ciudad de Dios, Mar Adentro, Abre los ojos, Babel, The lake house...
I definetely can't make a list of books. It would be so long and every one came to my hands in a perfect time so I can't choose just a few.
