Born and raised in Guatemala City. I enjoy making new friends and listening to their stories. I think I like to listen more instead of talking, so if you have a great story to share, please bring it on! I'm eager to listen.

My passion is storytelling, whether is through the lens of a camera, or ink and paper, or anything else that allows me to express myself and inspire others.

I went to school in New Orleans, LA and now I live in Bali, teaching art to teenagers. All of the three countries I've lived in so far have brought a unique definition of home.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A friend and I checked out couchsurfing a long time ago and I always thought it was a great idea. However, our trip never happened, so we never used it, but I made a note to myself to try it so here I am, ready to be part of this community.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent a week in the Flores Sea in Indonesia. Every night I slept in a different place: a secluded island, a boat, a car, and a small hotel.

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy helping others to learn a language that I can speak (English or Spanish).

I'm interested in learning the local language of the places I visit, and I'm eager to share and learn tips on filmmaking and storytelling as I move around.
