About Me

Born in the middle of the world, the beautiful country of Ecuador in South America. I'am both Ecuadorian and French citizen, but overall I consider myself a citizen of the world concerned by the global climate crisis and working to address it for the future of my three wonderful little ones. A firm believer in the now vague notion of sustainability or what in my country is called Sumak Kawsay, a nature lover who enjoys travelling and discovering new places and people, and a feminist embracing equity of rights and opportunities. My only religion is love in it's purest sense, as cheesy as it may sound. I currently live in Budapest, Hungary, and work remotely with a Latinamerican civil society organization.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like the idea of sharing, whether it is time, knowledge or just a little corner in your place with others. Gift economy!

Interests

Being a traveller discovering new places, cultures, meeting people and why not learning a new language. Listening to music, dancing, and singing. More and more a fan of hiking, trail running, mountain biking and rock climbing! I love cooking (and eating), deep conversation, and enjoying all the simple things in life...

Music, Movies, and Books

I prefer not mainstream movies and documentaries but I'm flexible; enjoy a good novel, ancient history enciclopedias, and travel guides; and have a quite diverse taste in music (rock, reggae, and salsa, sometimes some blues, jazz and r&b, others classical and why not an opera, it all depends on my mood).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Amazing and silly, hiking to the bottom of the Grand Canyon and back in one day.

Teach, Learn, Share

Languages, about climate change and climate finance (if you are interested), zero waste lifestyle, cooking, and why not some latin music dance moves ;)

What I Can Share with Hosts

For the moment I can offer a coffee, a drink and nice conversation. I can show you around my city or other places on weekends. And if we feel we connect I can offer you a couch and time to share with my family.
