About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I'm currently looking for enlightment. Not only in terms of personality and experiences, but also in terms of languages and how they are learnt and taught. I'm looking for new and fresh ideas, I'm looking for new and exciting experiences, I'm looking for the imporvement of my own ability to stand alone against the world.

ABOUT ME

I studied English Teaching, and as I went on studying I fell in love with it. I am passionate about not only the English language, but communication itself. I love how we, as human beings can create so many different ways to achieve proper communication. I am creative, and love to work with my hands. I like to paint, draw, read, write and listen to music. I am active, awake and conscious. I like travelling because I think is the best way to get to know yourself, and once you are in full knowledge of yourself, you can begin to have a good, truthful and successful relationship with your environment.

PHILOSOPHY

Communication. Say, communicate, tell, listen and express everything as best as you can. Laugh until you piss. Don't take things too seriously. Life is a cycle... what comes, goes. Teach and learn as much as you can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Me and my family have been receiving couchsurfers for many years. I love the idea of getting to know a culture from the eyes of the locals, They are the ones that will actually show you what you want to see and take you where you want to go. Even though I have recieved many people, I haven't had the chance to stay somewhere as a couchsurfer, I'm positve and i think I can be a good addition to a any home.

Interests

I love to paint with watercolors, I have been working on my technique and mixing it with collage art. I enjoy music, and even when I am not able to play any instruments (clumsiness, basically) I try to sing a little. I love Education, and I am interested in klnowing how it works in different parts of the world. I like books and movies because they represent every single part of a culture.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I decided to leave a very well-paid, private school job in the big city to go and live at the beach and wprk with kids who had less chances in life, and needed motivated people to learn. I quit a comfortable lifestyle to have a comfortable heart.

Teach, Learn, Share

I speak fluent English, Spanish and French, I think that languages and its backgrounds are my comfort zones.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can give them a wide view of what my society looks like. I can show them around this amazing beachtown I live in. I can include them in my social groups and help them fin the best steps to follow during their trip.
