CURRENT MISSION

To connect with people of all ages, learn from them and be reciprocal.

ABOUT ME

I am a 27 year old Mexican woman. I am getting ready to study a Master of Applied Linguistics in Sydney.
In 2009-2010, I worked in the USA thanks to a Fulbright grant, teaching Spanish and Mexican culture.
I lived in Dunedin New Zeland in 2003. I have friends from all over the world and I am interested in linguistics, traveling, self-development, inner peace, music, theater and literature.
I am flexible, eclectic and open to new ideas and styles.

PHILOSOPHY

Treat others the way you want to be treated.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Since 2004, I have hosted exchange students in my house back in Mexico. Now that I am getting older and traveling more I believe that CouchSurfing will give me this opportunity to meet people from different countries once again.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I haven't had the opportunity to host or to couch surf but I am looking forward to host people here in Roanoke, Virginia and during the summer in Tabasco, Mexico.This year I will start my master degree in Sydney, Australia and look forward to receiving people once there. My home is open for all of you who would like to Vagabond.
