About me, well my name is Lady Vanessa, and yes Lady is my real name haha. I am from Cali, Colombia. I’m industrial engineer and right now I’m working and living in Mexico City.

I define myself as someone friendly, determined, open minded, easygoing and helpful. I am constantly open to new expiriences and people ‘cause I think the moments we live are what is left when we die and also the best way to learn, that’s why I love to travel, share moments with friends and family and meet new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Experiences makes not only what we are but also our thoughts and memories, so I believe Couchsurfing is a good idea to create experiences from sharing with people all over the world. CS breaks barriers and allows to share more than a ‘couch’, thoughts, moments and cultures, it helps to make a better world, with the idea of being helpful to others, and I really like the idea of cultural exchange out of the comfort zone!

Interests

My biggest passions are traveling and dancing, but beside that I like to learn new languages, try new food, watch movies, read and sports, specially volleyball and rollerskating. I also love dogs, photography and the adventure haha; In general I enjoy to live my life so everything is welcome :)
