Overview
About Me
I'm a musician turned language teacher and translator from Mexico City. I love languages and I also really enjoy learning about new cultures and meeting new people from around the world. I like music, movies, and books. I'm a dog person (nothing against cats, but I'm allergic to them). I live in Mexico City with my boyfriend and our two dogs.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I love to travel and try to do it as often as I can, but I think that, when you can't travel, meeting people from other countries is also a great way to know other countries. When I am traveling, I also think that an amazing and more authentic way to know the country is to meet the locals. It's also fun to do activities with other fellow travelers that want to do the same activities you do and enjoy traveling.
I was quite active on Couchsurfing for a while, both while traveling and here in my hometown, mostly meeting up with people, but the pandemic came and changed all that. I'm just beginning to get back on the horse and look forward to meeting more fun and interesting people from all around the world.

Teach, Learn, Share
-I can teach some Spanish and English and even basic Turkish.
-It would be great to practice my Turkish (I have an upper-intermediate level), French, and Korean.
-I'd also love to learn the basics of any other language, but mostly learn about other cultures and get to know other people.
-I can share whatever knowledge I have of the city or place and suggest some places to go to.
-I'd love to share at least a few meals with my hosts and/or guests.
What I Can Share with Hosts
-I can teach Spanish, English and basic Turkish.
-I can buy you or make you breakfast, lunch or dinner (it would be great to share a meal having a nice conversation).
-I can help with some house chores.
-I can sing. If you play something, we could maybe share doing some music together.
