About Me

Not your everyday Chinese, cause I'm not... Ecuadorian born and raised. in between of both worlds, belonging to both and none, trying to get the best out whatever comes in my path.

Enjoy all sort of activities, Gym, binge-watching series, snowboarding, videogames, science, philosophy and economy, you name it.
I like to think that the only thing that I would not enjoy is something that I haven't tried.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Got to know about coach surfing after a brief talk with a couple strangers in a bus in China, became interested, been to a couple meetings and decided to give it a try.

haven't been in a country or a situations where I don't speak any of the local languages, eager and terrified to test my skills in such situation.

Music, Movies, and Books

All different kind of music: from Colombian Vallenatos to Chinese 80s pop, sometime AD/DC, sometimes Jay-Z. don't hate me if I cant name songs or bands, I'm just terrible with names.

Action adventure movies, sometimes enjoy a senseless action movie, I also like some romantic comedies, and straight up chick-flicks, I like riding the feels-train from time to time

lately I been reading non-fiction, really enjoyed "Freakonomics" and "How to think like a freak", currently reading "Fooled by randomness"

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I survived a car accident at the age of 3, does this count? :D

Learning anything that you are willing to teach.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My stories about how is growing up in a Chinese family in South America, how is to live in China as Chinese and why you probably wouldn't want to, my unusual ways to face my challenges and a lot of useless fun trivia about random stuff like whether or not penguins have knees.
