CURRENT MISSION

Try to get the most out of the time I have, learn as much as I can, not necessarily in class learning, but learn about life, new things, new people!!!

ABOUT ME

I am currently a student in Taiwan, I have been here for almost 6 years! I have loved the experience of living abroad, even though my family is not here with me, I have found people who are my family!! I have been able to travel in Asia a little bit, and after I started traveling it has become one of my passions! I enjoy finding new places, new people! I love been able to speak different languages in order to penetrate the culture! I have also learned to respect what others think and have grown a more mature way of thinking. Even though I am young, I considered that I have taken the most out of my time, I graduated from High School, and after that studied to be a secretary, I also studied to be an English teacher, I know how to do nails, how to cut hair, how to make up; I have learned little things but all of these have made me the person I am! Besides, I have a great family and boyfriend who support my dreams! In the future I want to be a factor of change in the Guatemalan society, I have seen the material poverty of my people but I have also learned that the lack of material things doesn´t mean a lack of kind and desire of self overcoming.

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy is to accept God´s will! I am a catholic person and God has been my guide in this life. He gave me a great family who I want to make proud and also surrounded me with great people. So I have learned that God will prepare my way, He will help me find the right things for me, because sometimes I don´t understand why things happen but I am just human, so I should just accept what God has prepared for me; this doesn´t mean that I won´t fight hard to get the things I want, but after I have fought hard, if I cannot achieve something, it means it wasn´t for me!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Since now I live in the dorms of my university I am not able to host people, but I would love to show you around if you are coming to Taipei! I can also share my traveling experience with you in case you are looking for tips of Asian countries!!!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been hosted and I had amazing experience! I am glad to realize that there is good people in the world!!

Interests

One of my main interest is Languages! I know that speaking a language can greatly facilitate a person´s understanding toward a culture and can help you deepen your relationships with people. Besides, I enjoy being with friends, cooking, reading, watching movies and TV shows. I also enjoy girls´ things like make up, acrylic nails, perfumes and girls´ related stuff!

Music, Movies, and Books

I am all into chick flicks! Love romantic comedy! The notebook is one of my favorite movies, also A Walk to remember! I also enjoy those movies which have a life philosophy message, those movies that can help me reflect about myself and my life. I love the green mile! I like a lot of different music, but if I have to chose my favorite, it would be alternative and pop! Love Spanish music! Most of the books I read as you can imagine are drama! The latest book I read was Ines of my soul of Isabelle Allende!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was only 17 years old I had the courage to come to Taiwan by myself! I learned a new language, I had the opportunity to start a different life, and I also managed to do it well!!!
