I'm a Mexi-Québeco-Canadian. Since I moved to Canada in 2008, my identity became a mix of those three cultures. I love exchanging about other cultures and also learning languages. My favorite instrument is the Ukulele, which I started learning to play a few years ago. I have a passion for psychology, either for the research and the clinical field.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I' d like to travel and meet new people. I learned that travelling is not only about the places you visit, but about the people you encounter. That makes the trip way much more interesting and enriching.

So, I hope to meet locals in order to better visit cities and find those hidden spots!

Interests

I also love to dance, specially cuban salsa, but also bachata, merengue, kizomba, forró... Well, i'd like to learn other danses such as Samba de Gafieira, but I'm working on it ;)
