About Me

ABOUT ME

Hard worker, analyst, good listener, someone who cares for a friend and even for strangers, likes fair play, honest, loves to help when is asked for it and when is not. Likes sports, walks and get to know people and places, loves music as for dancing as for singing (even if isn't a great singer). Enjoys being with friends and meeting new friends, no matter the age, just want the chance to see the world through their eyes, share experiences, points of view, interests.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Since I saw the Couchsurfing project, well, I felt that it fits with what I like... this will allow me to meet people from all around the world and even from my own country. At least for me, due to my job, it's been difficult to find friends beside from those I've met at work so, I guess this seems to be a safer and nice way to get to know much more friends.

Interests

Prefer out door activities such as walking, practicing any sport, enjoy dancing, any music related activities, love to learn and enjoy teaching while having fun and getting to know people by talking or just hanging out, or both.

Music, Movies, and Books

Even though there should be a very favorite one, it always depend on the current mood, but I mostly like those related with love, adventure, velocity, happiness, joy, friendship, and what I do dislike (wouldn't say "hate") are horror movies, or those which take suspense to the limit, right where I can almost have a heartattack or something like that.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I worked as a lifeguard in Walt Disney World's resorts, which was the greatest experience of my life, 'cause I had the chance not only to work and live in a multicultural environment but also saved and keep safe guests in "my pool", not to mention those great friends I made during the process. I'd worked in Villahermosa, in oil fields, for almost 4 years, which was awesome and an everyday challenge, not only because of what my company demands from it's employees, but because I was the first and last girl working on site for the oil industries. Now I'm working and living in Veracruz, in the same company but in the Research and Developement laboratory. A completely new and exciting experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you ask, I'll answer... If I don't have the answer, I'll help you find it.... I can share my knowledge, friends, favorite places, my family as long as respect and trust is maintained.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Basic amenities.... hot water, space and resources to cook, an own room to sleep, Wi-Fi access, directions to get to the most visited places, and may make time to drive them and/or join them while they are staying, if they agree
