Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Continue to travel and see as many countries of the world as possible. More immediately, I would like to be a better couchsurfer host to those visiting Madrid.
ABOUT ME
Most of my friends would say that I am a good friend in that I am kind and a good listener. I am very goofy, and I love to make people laugh. I love traveling and will spend some money in order to do so. I am easy to talk to. I'm going to stop now because talking about myself makes me uncomfortable!! However, I don't have any secrets, so if you want to know anything about me, just ask!!
PHILOSOPHY
I am trying to live my life without any regrets. I want to see and do as much as I can without holding back. Life is too short, and I don't want to miss out on anything!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have hosted two couchsurfers, and they were both excellent guests. I haven't couchsurfed in a long time (almost 4 years), but I am hoping to get back into it through hosting and surfing.
Interests
People, big cities. I love traveling and meeting friends from all over the world, which is obviously why I am on this website. I love many types of music and comedy (both TV and movies). I also love ethnic food, but I think I'd have to stick to my roots and say that Mexican is my favorite (but only lo autentico!).
