I work on conservation and sustainable development of water systems around Mexico City.

A good life is a life in movement: I love to travel, sing, climb, hike, run, dance.
Most recently this has meant: a month backpacking in Cuba, climbing mountains and exploring caves in central Mexico and lots and lots of salsa. Hablo español.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here to meet new people, share with others and go on adventures. Travel is so much richer when seen through the eyes of others.

Unfortunately, I can't host right now. Hoping to change this in the near future!

Teach, Learn, Share

We have two ears and one mouth for a reason. If you've got stories to tell, I'm ready to listen.

I cook, sing, garden, etc. You teach me your craft and I'll teach you mine!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I make a mean blackberry pie. Or apple pie. Or really, any pie. Give me some flour and fruit and I'll whip something up.
