About Me

In La Paz, I might not able to host people but would be more than happy to show you around and hang out!

I enjoy reading, listening to music, and walking.
I like spending time with my friends.
Having nice long conversations.
Easygoing, nice and respectful.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To be a traveler not a tourist.
Se un viajero, no un turista.
I think the best way to know a new place and its culture is by meeting someone local.
Meeting people from different places is a way to know the world, is a way of learning.

Interests

Travel as much as I can. To be a traveler not a tourist.
I like to meet new cultures, people and languages.
Social Psychology.
Nature.
Viajar, viajar, viajar...en compañía o sola.
