I studied Hotel and Tourism management and also International trading. I work as an Audiovisual Producer combining my studies and interests.

I consider myself as a life explorer full of passion for nature, languages, cultures, traveling, art, music, books, photography, science, dance, gastronomy, yoga.

I think that life is full of things to discover, places to visit, flavours to taste, stories to hear and to tell, amazing people to meet, I just like to be me and enjoy the moments being grateful for all my blessings.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One of my favorite quotes is from the film "Into the wild" and says: "Happiness is only real when shared". I strongly believe in this!

What an amazing experience is to meet people from different cultures and share laughs, anecdotes, languages, recipes and ideas.

It's always refreshing to learn something new and to experience the best things in life with friends like unforgettable sunsets at the Pichincha volcano, a coffee with the best view of Quito while having great conversations, an enthusiastic dance with live music, a meal prepared at home and always lots of laughs.

Due to different circumstances I've had the opportunity to help people to discover and enjoy my country, falling in love with Ecuador.

Watching people excited by the new and different and feeling free, happy, smiling, positive because they're accomplishing their dreams is something that really fills my soul and having the chance to help in this is what I consider a true BLESSING!
