Hi, I'm Mónica, but everyone calls me Mou.
I'm studying a Masters in Environmental Science, because I love trees and learning about nature and finding ways to keep those beautifil ecosystems and landscapes in the world. I'm from Mexico but Im living in the UK now, and its being really good for me to travel arounf Europe when i have some school breaks.
I love traveling, seeing, eating and exlploring new cultures and getting out of my comfort zone.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like meeting local people, to understand better the place I'm visiting, with the advange of getting out of the tourist zones and making newe friends in new places. Plus, as a student, the cash is always very short...

Interests

I love reading science fiction, and now im getting into hearing audiobooks, which takes a lot of focusing for me, but is usefull when you're in a long train ride, or in an aereplane.
Other thing that i like doing on my spare time is going out drinking, trying new thing and dancing! i really like dancing and breaking a sweat in the dance floor!
When I'm in the uk i move all around with my bike, and use public transport, to make my living as sustainable as i can.
Thats why i also learned how to make some clothes and sewing, to avoid getting lost in the fast fashion industry.

Music, Movies, and Books

Since i moved, I've being getting into regional music, and folkie style music, but im open to listen to everything... i might like it...
My favorite movies in the whole wide world are the Alien series (All of theeem!) and the Matrix, very sci-fi, like my books... but i also really liked Harry Potter, LOTR, and some of the mythical and magical series there are.
Sometimes i like reading (and now hearing) books about human evolution and development of societies and cultures around the world.
