My name is Sarah Achar, and I come from Mexico City. im a filmmaker and a visual artist and I’m currently doing my masters in Vienna in Art applied to human rights.
I’m also a feminist activist and I like to talk and learn about that subject in general.
I talk a lot , but I’m also a good listener. I like everything related to art and I truly believe that art is the best way to build bridges and make this world a better place.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because is the best way of knowing new people, getting to know the city. I feel that by using this app, you open yourself to the things that are different. It’s also a way of confidence and trust.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite book is Rayuela by Julio Cortázar and Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury ( I’m a sci fi geek)
My favorite films: Noviembre ( is a Spanish movie about changing the world through theatre) and Captain Fantastic.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing I’ve ever done is making a shot documentary about female masturbation with one of my closest friends. It was crazy and awesome at the same time.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love sharing about myself, discussing about music and art in general, I can teach you some Spanish and some other stuff about filmmaking, production design and of course, Mexico.
I love learning pretty much about anything but math.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I’m a very open minded girl, simple and I can sleep anywhere. I really like taking to people about random stuff and if you take me , I can buy you a beer and make a drawing about you. :)
