About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My mission is to learn to smile every day, to be grateful to the thousands of opportunities that the Universe has given me to enjoy conscious responsability and joy a new dawn

ABOUT ME

I'm a happy girl, I love laughing and making people laugh, love to dance especially Salsa, I love martial arts especially karate which I practiced for 5 years. I have great interest in nature and conservation. I am kind and loving to all and all those around me. I love meeting people, and I consider it an interesting and wonderful to learn from their experiences, their culture and how they view life. I believe in friendship and the importance of planting it wherever you go.

PHILOSOPHY

"Caminante no hay camino..se hace camino al andar" (twentieth century Spanish poet)

"Pintarse la cara cor esperanza" (Diego Torres Uruguayan singer-songwriter)

"Vivir
sin sentir
vergüenza
de vivir feliz
cantar
y aunque todos
se opongan
tratar de reír" (Héctor Lavoe Puerto Rican singer)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm participating in Couchsurfing to approach different cultures and also to show a little of my culture and my country.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am new to couchsurfing, so until now I had one experience, which was excellent, and encourages me to continue in this community.
I look forward to having good experiences and also to offer them.

I want to dance Salsa, learn new styles and I will teach
I want to improve my English level Intermediate, and I think this is a good way to do it.
I want to learn about gardening
I´d like to surf, to dive and to parachute flight.
