I'm a very curious woman, who believes in gender equity and love as our living bond. I am open to different cultures and ready to meet new people and save new stories. Easy to go and very trustful. I am I crazy dancer and shy singer. I'll be happy to ignite curiosity in other people towards our mysterious human existence.

PHILOSOPHY
Rien n'est jamais joué. Nothing in life is set yet.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The first step to develop an open mind is to let daily life experiences transform the deepest meaning of your life. I think that Couchsurfing allows you to meet beautfil and inspiring people with amazing experiences that will broaden your horizons and your life undestanding. This platform enables you to be connected to people that could not teach you and remind you the deepest treasures of a meaningful sensible existence: a life devoted to share.

Music, Movies, and Books

Blues, Salsa, Afro-cubane, funky tropical music, fiesta. For books I love Latin American writers as Julio Cortazar, Mario Vargas Llosa, Gabriel García Marquez, Laura Restrepo, Laura Esquivel & Junot Diaz. Absolute admirer of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and Mia Couto who can share feelings that our older sister Africa has had. Not a very cult person on filmmaking.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have trekked 8 hours for reaching a beautiful camping base in La Sierra Nevada del Cocuy that was at 3800 m.s.n.m .

Teach, Learn, Share

"Not losing to the rain,
not losing to the wind ,
not losing to the snow nor the summer's heat,
with a strong body,
unfettered by desire,
never losing temper,
cultivating a quiet joy ,
[...] tears of sympathy
when the summer's cold
wandering upset
called a blockhead by everyone
without being praised
without being blamed
such person
I want to become"
"Ame ni mo makezu " by Kenji Miyazawa’s Poem in english.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am terrific dessert cook. I love to make chocolate fudge cakes, crostata's , muffins and every recipe the greatest Jamie Oliver posts on his website. My stories , foolness and knowledge is open. My heart is an open book where any single person, from all over the world, can write with me a particular chapter.
