About Me

Hello!!

A little about me - I was born and raised in the US (Seattle). Both of my parents are from Mexico, so I grew up speaking Spanish and practicing many of our Mexican traditions. I love spending time with friends and family, and most of all traveling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet interesting people, to experience travel through a local’s perspective, to share my traditions and stories, and to learn from others.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once lived in Haiti for two months following the 2010 earthquake, two of the most life changing months of my life.

I studied at a Spanish school in Madrid in 2017, really felt like I was a Madrileña!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love speaking Spanish, dancing, laughing, and listening to people’s stories! Cooking is something that I am a novice at, but in the last year I have become much more courageous and have found a love for learning to cook new dishes. So if you like cooking, I am here for it!

What I Can Share with Hosts

My Mexican culture, stories about growing up in the US, teaching you English and Spanish. I have traveled to 40 countries and over 40 States in the US and would love to share my experiences and help with any of your future travel plans :) Last, I am a huge advocate for education and public service, so if you are someone who also enjoys this or would like to learn more, I would be more than happy to do so.
