CURRENT MISSION

“Life is too important to be taken seriously.”

ABOUT ME

First, I am a sociable person. I love interacting with people that I enjoy to talk to, but sometimes I am quiet. I like sharing what I know - which is not too much- with people, but I'm a curious mind and a good listener... that's why I became a teacher.
I live on my own because I love the feeling of being free to do what I want to, also I like to spend my time at home, watching movies, reading, studying... or just relaxing on my couch!

Second, I'm a totally laid back girl, but can't cope with a messy and dirty house. So, if you want to stay with me you better leave everything as the way you find it 🧐😉.

And finally, I'm into hanging around friends, discuvering new places around the city, drinking coffee or beer in our favorite pubs or cafés where they play jazz, reggae or any kind of relaxing music I love!

You should say: "Hola, Jef" at the beginning of your request otherwise I will not reply. I really like hosting people who really know what it's CS about, it's not only about traveling cheap.
