CURRENT MISSION

“All you touch and all you see is all your life will ever be.”

ABOUT ME

I am Mexican. I have lived a transnational life-a foot in both the US and Mexico. However, I have also lived in South America, Europe and Asia. I love to travel, meet new people, cook/eat international foods and chatting over a glass of wine or tea.

PHILOSOPHY

Strange is our situation here on Earth. Each of us comes for a short visit, not knowing why, yet sometimes seeming to divine a purpose. From the standpoint of daily life, however, there is one thing we do know: that man is here for the sake of other men.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Backpacked across India-alone. This is something I wanted to do since I was five-years-old, when I first saw India on Sesame Street (I learned English from). Since then I have lived and traveled significantly in India.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love people and learning about people's customs and cultures. I enjoy cooking and trying international cuisines. If you have a kitchen then perhaps we can mix something up!

What I Can Share with Hosts

A good laugh, a good story or some insights on Ayurveda :)
