About Me

Hello all!

I've been traveling and using couchsurfing to meet incredible people while I'm abroad. This year I decided to stay in my country and moved to San Cristobal de las Casas, Chiapas, a little colonial city southern Mexico. I'm from the north of Mexico, have lived in the big city for 5 years and then moved to Sancris. This place is rich in indigenous culture, cuisine, nightlife, alternative movements. However, is still the least developed state in Mexico in infrastructure, education and economy. As Mexican, I find myself fortunate to witness all these contrasts but find them so shocking sometimes. Nevertheless, this is a place that stole my heart from the very beginning and has caught me due to every magical corner you can find here and all the personal and social development that this place offers!

Regarding myself: adventurous, calm, easy-going, hard worker girl, interested into traveling, entrepreneurship, languages, cultural exchanges, nature, music, politics, yoga and meditation. I do a bit of everything. One week I might be keen on plants, the next into cuisine, the following into how to deconstruct the world we live in. Still finding my passion, but certainly knowing that my ultimate goal is to help others to grow (on my way to discover who and how). I enjoy sharing: sharing my time, sharing my roof, sharing experiences, sharing ideas.

I want to share my time with people who speak out their ideas. I studied Social Sciences, therefore I do enjoy having discussions about everything and anything (social inequalities, feminism, world politics, economy. But it could be also mindfulness, traveling, personal experiences, physics, gravity or anything else!)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

I love tropical chill music and everything with good vibes. In fact, I like every kind of music as long as it produces something that helps myself to feel better.

Reading is one of the most beautiful things it has happened to me. I can't say no to any kind of books and truly believe that books make the world greater than it is.
