Mexican girl who loves to dance, design and meeting new people from different cultures.

I'm a Service/UX designer, hip hop teacher and dancer, hiker, runner and occasionally triathlete, adventurer, and traveler. I started using couchsurfing right when I move to Europe for my exchange because I knew people there used it a lot and that was really useful.

I am always very interested about the new cultures because in a way that opens my horizons and helps me being more creative. The best way to know a culture is going to a place+knowing a local+eating typical food+doing local things. And couchsurfing has this great opportunity.

I am a flexitarian (plant based and occasionally animal products) because it's a way to maintain a healthy lifestyle, cruelty free and sustainable (eco friendly). Besides doing things you love and doing workout, you are what you eat. That's what I've learn a lot while being abroad.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe that the best way to meet the country/city is by doing local things and so, hanging out with locals talking with them, let the, show you the places they like, eating what they like or recommend, it's the only u could really learn and experience a proper culture. Of course it depends how open and willing to learn/share the host and guest are.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach:
Since I'm a Latina, I know how to dance salsa by nature (almost) but mainly I can teach nearly every style of hip hop, I really love it. Also I can teach about design thinking, ux design, industrial design.

Learn:
I'm up to learn everything new, I'm a fast learner and get really interested of what others are experts on. Also I will love to learn things that are already on my field because I could reinforce them.

Share:
Mexican culture, exchange experiences, my thought about life, spiritual beliefs, dancing, hip hop culture, etc.
