About Me

Twenty something year old human trying to find her place in this amazing world we live in.
im the kind of person who enjoys being with people a lot, but also the kind of person who loves her own time. I am independent. I love challenges, i love learning, meeting people, but most of all i love the process of growing up.
I used to think of myself as weird, after some years, some traveling and specially after couchsurfing, i have confirmed that i am weird and im not the only one. CS is full of "weirdos" like me that are just trying to find their own way.
I try to be positive the whole time. I dont judge people, i love people, I trust too much. I love partying and i love being all quiet in my room listening to my own thoughts.
I enjoy living the life i was given and most of all i love all of the possibilities that this one brings along :)

PHILOSOPHY

Life is too short to limit yourself, time flies, so I really try to enjoy everything i do, taking my time and apreciate everything around me, dont take anything for granted and feel grateful for what I am living, all the people I meet everyday, everything I see, I try not to complain, of course, I have my down moments, but I always try to be positive, I am enjoying my life at this moment...
dont do good because you expect the same, do it because it feels good to do it, dont mind what others may think of me-
Living is a beautiful gift we were given. We were put in this amazing incredible world that is just out there for us to love it, and learn from it. I love feeling alive having those moments you want to keep in your mind forever. Magic does exists, in sunsets, in smiles, in beautiful sceneries and kindness.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Meetings in Krefeld, Grenoble, San Luis Potosí and Monterrey.I have hosted some people and I´ve been a surfer aswell. I try to make people join and really understand the philosophy of cs. Not a free stay. Its about connecting with others, about making new friendships, learning, connecting the world.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

this site is just great. Ive met those kind of people who are so interesting and kind, that no matter for how long u meet, u can be 100 percent sure, ull never forget them. i think all of the surfers have one thing in common , we are all thirsty of knowledge, of experiences and eager for life lasting frienships. We all want to make this world a smaller place.

Interests

traveling, reading, languages, environment, music, films, tv, art, and now cooking :D
i am interested about finding out how we all function. I am down the path of selfdiscovery at the moment and I am loving it.

Music, Movies, and Books

Twice Born, Once, Cloud Atlas, Forrest Gump,The Lives of Others, Cherry Blossom <3
Home, Earth, La vida es bella, Cinema Paradiso, Closer,50 first dates, Into the wild, Amelie, Todo Sobre Mi Madre, Les amours imaginaires, Children of men, Take this waltz, L'ecume de jours, La vie d'adele, Magnolia, The edukators, Earthlings. I love so many of them
I enjoy reading several types of books, L'elegance du Herisson, Tokio blues, but now, "El laberinto de la soledad" from Octavio Paz has helped me to understand not only my own culture as a mexican, but it has helped me understand myself in a way that no other thing ive ever read or heard had done before. Amazing. I like reading novels aswell, i think "les miserables" will always be my favorite."The kite runner" is also a story that I love, humanity in all its glory is beautifully represented in these characters that you can feel through the words Khaled Hosseini writes. I love it.I like sad stories, they make great stories. But theres so much to read,and so little time.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have seen beautiful sceneries, nature is magic, alive and amazing, but when I think about something amazing I think of the people I have met, friends, good friends, the best, u dont have to know each other for so long, u just click , and ull click forever, I guess what I mean is the most amazing thing Ive seen is real friendship. Real Love.

Teach, Learn, Share

There is so much to learn and share , too much. I lovecooking, im a vegetarian, so I love learning new recipes and cooking for not too picky people, I am now interested in gardening and growing stuff, I talk to my baby plants every morning :)
I can share everything that is temporarily mine and I want to learn everything I possible can.
