I'm a female Mexican, currently 28 years old. I love grandmotherly hobbies such as knitting, reading, crosswords, etc. I don't smoke or drive. I'm kind of a control freak :P

I've lived in Mexico for my whole life and love to travel.

I'm married to a wonderful filmmaker and artist and share my home with him and a dog named Liso (he's small).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Love meeting people from other places and making new friends :)

Interests

I'm practically a grandma. I love to read, knit, puzzles, crosswords. I love walking, used to do yoga, but love eating junk food. I love dogs.

I love musicals and even though I really try not to, I always end up singing along ¬¬

Music, Movies, and Books

Anything but rap, colombianas, reggeaton, banda. One of my favorite bands is Dave Matthews Band... another is Paramore. I love musicals as well, so my musical taste is very varied.

I love documentaries such as The Cove, Blackfish, The Imposter, Man on Wire. I feel they help me understand realities different to my own.

I love Harry Potter and Douglas Coupland, Life of Pi (book, not movie), Flowers for Algernon, The Book Thief. I have to admit YA books are kind of my guilty pleasure.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I finished the largest puzzle in the world (32,000 pieces) called Double Retrospect. It features paintings by Keith Haring. You can see some pictures here: https://instagram.com/largestpuzzle/.

I shook my President's hand which is not really amazing 'cause he's a douche but... he's still a president.

I saved two dogs from the gutter :( one of them died 'cause he was way too sick (worst day of my life, no kidding) but the other one lives happily with my husband and I.

Started my own bussiness at 24, which is kind of dead but still kicking. It's handmade scarves.

Started another bussiness with my husband called Conejo Café. It's a production house and cinema gear rental house. That one is definitely still alive.

Teach, Learn, Share

Don't really know what to fill in here.

I can teach you Spanish.
I like to learn everything and anything.
I can share all of my (limited) knowledge and experiences with you :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

My Spanish and Mexican knowledge and traditions :D even though I have very lonerish hobbies, I love interacting with people. I'm very curious and I'm always looking to learn new things and share what I know.

I'm not gonna say I'm good at cooking, 'cause I'm really not. But I'm good at keeping things tidy and clean.
