About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To keep things simple. Life is too short to be stressed!

ABOUT ME

i am 29. born in mexico though lived in too many countries to really be from any one place.
i am currently working free lance as a consultant in development issues, lecturing on international relations and setting up and NGO. i tend to hang out in the cuernavaca/mexico city area though if there is something to do or see somewhere else, i will be there!

PHILOSOPHY

nothing like packing two t-shirts, hitting the road and grabbing some ice-cream for the way...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

in cancún, playa del carmen, tijuana, rosarito, manchester, managua, guatemala, san francisco and in various cities in Brazil. it was great!

Interests

Traveling, reading, "artsy" movies and good conversation are some of those things that make life engaging.

I'm a big runner. Hoping to run my first half marathon this year. Love to party but also need quiet moments to contemplate the sky.
