CURRENT MISSION

Honestly, I'm confused... so my mission is to see everything and become less confused. Or more confused, who knows.

ABOUT ME

I was born in a small village called Ojo de Agua in Mexico and moved to the US at age seven without knowing any English. But when you're young, learning a new language is easy. Now English is what I know best.

Let's see... I have an overwhelming love for Iceland and all things Icelandic. Pretty sure I was born in the wrong country. I recently visited this beautiful country and confirmed my suspicions.

I love thoughtful and pointless conversations, and sometimes it's very hard to get me to stay quiet. I get excited over small and insignificant things (like being able to identify a cloud properly... or make out funny shapes from said cloud, for that matter). I'm random.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
