Hello there!

We are a Mexican couple in our late twenties. We have been living in Auckland, New Zealand for almost two years and we are about to start (June 2015) a long term trip around South East Asia.

We pursue simplicity, empathy and global awareness. We like to increase our understanding of other cultures and we try to have a positive impact on everything and everyone around us.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We value and treasure human connection. We enjoy discovering that the world that is not in the media is generous, kind and inspiring.

Interests

We believe in active and collaborative learning. A few things we would like to learn more about: self sufficiency, any spiritual practice, animal care, permaculture, arts & crafts, languages, alternative education, history and sustainability.

We like:
- Hiking/trekking.
- Getting to know places by getting lost in them.
- Hitchhiking. Is the best way to make new friends (even if it's just for a short time), learn about the country we are visiting and experiencing that there's amazing people out there.
