I am an engineer currently working as an english/ spanish tutor. This means I love the idea of communication and teaching, it is in my blood as most of family is in that field

I am also studying art at a local school. This means I appreciate and value almost any artistic expression, but painting and drawing have a special place in my heart.

I worked in project management for 10 years but, despite I liked that experience it just wasn't my true passion. So I took a bold decision and started from scratch 5 years ago , teaching others both languages and math. this gave me the time to pursue one of my dreams, and I still am trying to become a full time artist. it hasn't been easy but I don´t give up so easily.

I work mostly from home. So, as host is very easy to set time of arrival (sometimes this is a very stressful situation when doing CS) I am very organized, quiet and fun person!!

As a traveler I always plan in advanced! I try to understand public transportation systems, schedules and fees to any place I go. Always have a check list ready to prepare before my trip.

I always do my best effort to be a great guest, following the rules, respecting times to leave or arrive and helping around the house.
Whenever is possible get to know my host is a must but I won't be pushing as I understand sometimes life is too busy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I consider myself a great host. Love to meet people from all over the globe.
So far CS experience has been a blessing. We have met some amazing people from all over the world and that have encouraged me to continue hosting travelers!

Also , I am very excited about the idea to travel and do couchsurfing!! I think there is not better way to know and learn from others. I already have had the opportunity to be hosted couple of times and it has been great experiences, I am so grateful for those who opened their house to me, and that is the beauty of CS.
