About Me

Currently I’m living in the countryside of Germany, -which feels so good- and doing an internship abroad.

I love to spend time outdoors, meet new people, learn new things, do some yoga, practice with my ukulele, watch the sunsets, travel -of course-, read, watch movies, walk -I can walk a looooot.

I love to share cultures, experiences, stories. I think there is nothing better than experience the places as local.

Lets continue this conversation face to face and with a cup of tea in hand.

Music, Movies, and Books

Everyday I listen: Lykke li, the antlers, Damien Rice, Kings of convenience.
But I consider myself very versatile. In my playlist you can find The cure, Explosions in the sky, Jamie xx, Jarabe de Palo, or Ed Sheehan and many more.

Movies I can watch forever: Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, I origins, any of Wes Anderson, Amelie, Totoro.
But I like to watch movies A LOT!

Books: I like Latin-American literature, like Julio Cortázar (Rayuela is my favorite) and Gabriel Garcia Marquez. I would say that my bible is: How to become one with the universe from Yumi Sakugawa. The last’s books I read was: Milk and honey and The sun and her flowers, both from Rupi Kaur and my next one is: The hour of the star from Clarice Lispector.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitchhiking trough Mexico, Belize & Guatemala: Camping on the beach, on the jungle and mountains, hike a volcano and watch the most beautiful sunrise and the power of the nature with the eruption of a volcano.

Swim on a frozen lake after sauna in Finland at -20.

Work with artesians from Chiapas, Mexico -we create a fair trade brand @komanjolob. Coming soon.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you spanish if you like.
I like to talk but I love to hear.

We can share movies, music, stories.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can prepare dinner, teach a language, a bit of yoga.
Show places I’ve visited and tips for traveling, I’m not the expert. But I think this things are always always nice to share.
