About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learn, grow, laugh, be happy and make others happy!

ABOUT ME

I'm a third-culture kid and have lived in Argentina, Uruguay, United States, Nepal, China and Spain. I consider traveling one of life's most enriching experiences and love to meet people from around the world and get to know new cultures. I love music, literature, film (specially documentary film), nature and yoga.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

2010: I am new on Couchsurfing. A friend from Iraq who has had great experiences with CS recommended the site and am very happy I've discovered it.

Now: I'm back at it!

Music, Movies, and Books

My favourite book of all time is A Wrinkle In Time, by Madeleine L'Engle. Yes, I am aware that it is a children's book. Please don't jump to conclusions about my maturity :)
