About Me

I was born and raised in Mexico. I studied a bachellor degree in English teaching for four years and then went to the US to do one more year of university. I learnt Mexican Sign Language some years ago to volunteer as a SL interpreter in my state. Now, I'm currently working as a Spanish language assistant in London. Hopefully, I'll be working as a Spanish teacher in some other country of Europe. There's no need to say I love teaching, so if you are interested in knowing and learning about Mexican or Latino culture I'm willing to share it with you. I've been told I'm very good at it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe that one of the most rewarding experiences a person could have in life is travelling and know as much as they can of the world. On the top of that, I believe that sharing those experiences make us richer in heart. What whould be of an experience if it can't be told? Right?

Interests

I love everything related to cultures. It's incredible how diverse people are but at the same time how many things we have in common if we look at us carefully! I also love reading in my free time, especially biographical books. I'm not into music so much because I have such a bad memory to remember names or singers or sonngs. However, I appreciate good music. Love going out with friends for a drink or a all-nigh-long dance in a club (I'd say my favourite activity at weekends!)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the best things I've ever done is to ride a circuit of 10 zip lines in Cancun, Mexico. It was just awesome! The circuit is divided into two parts: the one that goes above the jungle and the one that goes from the air to the water. Incredible and exciting activity!
