I'm from Ecuador, a small South American country. I moved to Mexico when I was 16 to attend college there, made great friends, got to know a lot of places and the Mexican culture. I then moved to Canada to finish my undergrad. I've been living here for 13 years now. I'm enjoying this country very much and I hope to get to know it well. I'm open to exploring my options, meet new people and travel to different places too.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I love the idea of people driven by a sense of community, by the desire to help other people that also travel and are eager to know more about the world. The world is so big and the idea of getting to know it might seem daunting at first; but when there are people willing to help you in your journey, it gets better.

Interests

One of my greatest interests is to travel, to get to know new cultures, places and people. I also have this love-hate relationship with politics. I'm also very passionate about software development.
