CURRENT MISSION

Live and learn.

ABOUT ME

Love nature and art. I'm a preschool teacher who appreciates creativity even when children are creating an excuse on how not to listen to a teacher. I also believe in positive discipline; children have a great understanding of what is bad and good. I try to nurture their positive behaviors so they can see what they should continue doing.

Amo la naturaleza y el arte. Soy una maestra de preescolar que aprecia la creatividad, incluso cuando los niños están creando una excusa sobre cómo no escuchar al maestro. También creo en la disciplina positiva; los niños tienen una gran comprensión de lo que es malo y bueno. Trato de fomentar sus propios comportamientos positivos para que puedan ver lo que deben seguir haciendo.

PHILOSOPHY

I feel that everyone is beautiful in different ways. Then there is some people that I will never talk to just because they have a strong feeling of hate in their hearts. So throw away what makes you ugly and continue your journey. I say this to myself as well ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

In our house we have a guest room so we often welcome travelers from anywhere.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I feel that I have couch-surfed a lot but not through this website. I also hosted a lot of people. I live in a veggie coop house in Berkeley CA. Meeting new people is part of this house and city. So, I have met couchsurfers and I also have also been welcomed to other places. I always try to do what I appreciate people doing at my house. I appreciate when people clean after themselves and when they share something about their life. I love when people tell me their travel experiences or any other stories.

Interests

Hiking, meeting new people, reading, painting. I started to paint for the children but then on my free time I do it too. I also find myself with a lot of friends who are involved in some type of art. I'm trying to narrow down what will be the art that I will be soon sharing with the world.
Love music, finding new independent musicians is what I do when the night is lonely.
