About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Settling back in the Land of the Eternal Spring

ABOUT ME

Pretty easy going and very open-minded. Originally born in Guatemala where I grew up and lived most of my life. I studied in an international boarding school in New Mexico (USA) with people from more than 80 different countries, which was a great experience. I'm a college student at Earlham College, majoring in International Studies and Economics. Since I started studying abroad I've been really interested in traveling around and exploring new places, and of course meeting interesting people.

I work I student travel which allows me to do some traveling on my own.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I recently moved back to Guatemala city, where I live with my family. We have hosted buch of people over the years, usually my friends or my siblings friends who come visit the country but we've also had other travelers crashing at our places. I've met great people in my trips that have helped me a lot and I hope I can do that for somebody else.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I could say I've been CSing for the past 10 years crashing at my friends places', or at someone who knows someone I know. I've also hosted several people in the last 10 years and it has been a great experience.

Interests

Traveling and meeting people from all over. I enjoy hiking and camping but I don't get to do it too often. Into graphic design and learning languages
