I am a hyperactive girl interested in all sorts of stuff. I am currently working as a researcher studying complexity in the social sciences at the University of Mexico, but I also have a rich past in contemporary art and choral music. I love making new friends :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Among all the things I love doing, what I love most of all is traveling and meeting people from all over the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I helped organize the largest exhibition that's ever been done in my university! It was like making 6 exhibitions at once. It was called "Defying Stability: Artistic Processes in Mexico 1952-1967". At the time, I was also translating the 600-page catalog. Does that count?
