About Me

Aventura en curso: Conocer México en bicicleta.

Después de varios años mochileando, ahora estoy en el proyecto de viajar en bicicleta por mi propio país, junto con Kiko, mi novio.

Si puedes apoyarnos con un espacio para dejar algo de equipaje, una ducha caliente o un techo para pasar la noche, ¡Te estaremos agradecidos!

Como host:

My accommodation circumstances don't allow me to host people at the moment, but I'm totally in for hanging out and showing around! ;)

I've been a backpacker around the world for the last 6 years, so I've been in your place. In case you need any local advice or want to walk around and go to real local places, let me know.

Even I'm a bit busy with the daily life duties, I will always do my best to share some time with you. I love listening to people's stories! I'll be happy to hear yours.

I used to share an account with another travelling partner in the past, so I got some more references in that account. I put the screenshots on the album "Couch Photos" in case you want to check them ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travelers love meeting new people and new places, so that's why I'm here.

Interests

I love outdoor sports, specially rock climbing, MTB and running. Even I don't speak lots of languages, I like them a lot. Food is my passion: go to the market, buy veggies and fruits, learn new recipes, cook and experiment, and of course eat a lot.

Music, Movies, and Books

All music styles are cool, depending on the occasion, but specially I enjoy rock and reaggae.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- For more than 2 years I backpacked South America, this experience changed my life and world vision and filled me with pretty cool stories.

- I also lived in a Van (which I named Hikuri) for 1 year in New Zealand, enjoying the freedom of living in your own vehicle. For sure one of the best experiences in my life!

- Explored all Pakistan on a motorcycle. Rough, but by far one of the most amazing adventures of my travels.

- Spent 1.5 years backpacking in Africa, this includes listening from my tent to lions roaring, watching elephants eating by a tree next to me and travel 300km in more than 10hrs (patience goes to the limit in this continent haha).

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach English and Spanish, and share some Mexican food recipes as well. I'd love to learn more languages, specially practice my Portuguese.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Since I love to cook, you'll get nice Mexican food, as well as cool chats and of course, all the sympathy of this spicy chica mexicana.
