ABOUT ME

I speak English at home but I am also fluent in French. Yo no hablo muy bien español.

I love food! My passion is reading recipes and going to markets, cooking for friends, and eating :)

I am also very passionate about conscious living. I do not believe in excess consumption of material goods, so Couch Surfing suits my values perfectly! I recycle, I eat organic and local whenever I can, and I respect the earth.

I am a very common-sense person, rational and socially conscious. I enjoy reading the newspaper and I love learning :)
