About Me

I just opened an account on Couchsurfing, that's why I don't have any references nor friends yet :)

I was born and raised in Caracas, Venezuela. At the age of 21 I moved to Berlin to continue and finish my Bachelor degree on Economics, and since then I've been traveling a lot and living and working in different countries. Cities where I've lived include Berlin, Barcelona, Santiago de Chile, Mexico City and now San Cristóbal de las Casas. Professionally I've been involved in different fields, including socioeconomic research, film business, international organizations, Public Relations, and language teaching. Now I work in Chiapas (southern Mexico) at a NGO working on water issues and social entrepreneurship in rural communities. I've always been in favor of changing environments constantly and meeting new people, places and cultures. I believe happiness is not found in the same place but within yourself and your personal transformation among different environments.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

SPREADING GOOD VIBES AND POSITIVE ENERGY SINCE 1989

Interests

I'm interested in photography, music, audiovisual media of all sorts, intercultural exchange, teaching and learning new experiences, specially by travelling and getting to know new cultures and places.
