About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learning how to continue the journey while staying in one place.

ABOUT ME

Soy una persona fascinada con la vida, super curiosa, siempre aprendiendo algo nuevo con cada día. Soy optimista, amigable, soñadora, ciclista, vegetariana, idealista... I love taking time to enjoy life to the fullest, appreciating art, nature, good conversation. Not afraid to be silly.

Me encanta todo que tiene que ver con las culturas: la música, el arte de un país o región, la literatura, el folclor, las danzas y comidas típicas.

PHILOSOPHY

Probablemente de todos nuestros sentimientos el único que no es verdaderamente nuestro es la esperanza. La esperanza le pertenece a la vida, es la vida misma defendiéndose. - Julio Cortázar

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've spent the about 3 years traveling, working, volunteering and biking through Latin America. I love learning about new cultures and sub-cultures, exploring authentic places, making lasting friendships, and generally avoiding the fabricated tourist track.

I am so grateful to Couchsurfing for connecting me with fabulous people everywhere I go. I am touched by the incredible generosity I've experienced from complete strangers.

Interests

Bike rides, high fives, dancing, playing outside. Making things with my hands.
