About Me

I'm an old school young lady. This means in am definitely down to go out with friends, travel, do sports, learn and try all kind of new things. I love all the arts specially animation and the fifth discipline which is the cinema.

However I do not like to get drunk, smoke, do anything involved with drugs. But I respect everyones choices in life. Therefore I am very respective towards adults and even youngest people for I believe I have to be the best person I can be to any human.

I am very understanding and I always solve problems focusing on the bright side and working towards an agreement everyone is content with. I like to listen to what people have to say about me wether it is good or bad, since knowing the bad can always be good its just matter of perspective and the willingness to improve those flaws anyone naturally has.

I would keep going on and on but I know we could chat about this in person...or at least through Skype! so I will be looking forward to it :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have enrolled in an exchange program in my college here in Mexico to go study at George Mason University at Fairfax Virginia. I already have a student visa. However I need to find a place to live during 4 months.

My family is formed by mom, dad, brother and a little sister. I am the oldest child out of the 3. I am currently doing college and also my brother, so you can figure it's a bit of a hard situation right now.

The only one who works in my family is my dad, and due the rise of the value of the dollar, we are having a bit of a struggle figuring out how and where am I going to live at Fairfax VA the next fall (August - December).

Interests

I am looking forward to be able to live in a full furnished room (in the basement or wherever), and have access to the kitchen, laundry room and all the utilities either for free, for an exchange (read below) or for 300 dollars monthly so I can have 200 left to shop groceries and school supplies.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like almost all kind of music, but right now I am really into instrumental music!
About movies I would never end but I like action, comedy, fantasy / scy-fy. I don't really like horror or romantic ones but I am willing to give it a try if you really want to watch one like those haha!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Follow my dream of becoming an animator despite my parents not liking it.
Babysitting two baby boys for 6 months in total.
Trying to rescue an injured bunny.
Protect my little brother from bullying when he was 4 and I was 5.
Managed my home during 3 months all by myself for my dad was busy at work and my mom was away at another state: took care of sister and grandparents, did all the grocery shopping and bills payments, also took sis back and forth to school and extra classes.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've been english teacher at a poor community in my town of 6 months.
I love to learn almost anything as long as I am not tired !

What I Can Share with Hosts

I will gladly share my time, mi ideals, even the Mexican food I can cook! And well, almost everything that won't hurt me physically or emotionally.
