Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I´m a writer and a contemplative being. It would be great to have local residents advice, insights and "know how" to experience the cities with further authenticity. And I like to meet and help travelers (not just "tourists") to discover the hidden soul of Montevideo...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Me han publicado tres libros: relatos, novela y poesía (además de participar en varias antologías y revistas con textos literarios propios). Luego de una vida de decir que no iba a ser madre, casi a los 41 tuve a mi divino hijo, hoy adolescente. Lo del árbol aún lo debo, pues las plantas por lo general se me marchitan o calcinan.

I have published three books (and my works are part of several literary anthologies and cultural magazines). After a life of refusing the idea of being a mother, almost at 41 I said "yes" and brought my divine son, now teenager. I still owe the tree, because with me plants usually wither or end calcined.

Teach, Learn, Share

Conozco muy a fondo el alma del escritor uruguayo Mario Levrero, de quien fui amiga, discípula y socia los ocho últimos años de su vida (me nombraba “hermanita”). Dirijo desde entonces su propuesta de talleres por internet, según su entrenamiento directo www.onetto.net También llevo adelante mis propias propuestas en talleres de creatividad.

I know deeply the soul of the (now departed) Uruguayan writer Mario Levrero, of whom I was friend, disciple and project partner during the last eight years of his life (he named me "little sister"). Since then, I have been directing our online workshop based on his vision and method, according to his direct training www.onetto.net I lead my own created workshops , too.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Authenticity. Insights. X-rays of their souls. Life advice based on my own former bleeding paths :-) Writing prompts. Sometimes (and if there is a guitar) , Latinoamerican songs. Company for slow red wine. Findings and observations in their own cities. Stories. A lot about Uruguay and Mexico's cultures. Dream interpretation. Mithological medicines for whatever they need and want to transform, overcome or find out.
