My name is Yani Valdes. I love both the simple and extravagant things in life.
I'm a sucker for adventure and new experiences, and a good laugh. For real, if you can make me laugh, you get 5 extra brownie points. I'm in love with the natural beauty of the sky and can get lost in clear nights with beaming stars.

I truly believe that we have the power to create ourselves, and essentially, the world we wish to see. My secret is putting all my energies in to my hearts aspirations.

I'm enjoying the ride of unraveling my story. I'd love to have you be a part of it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am Couchsurfing because I think it is not only a wonderful source to get out and see the world, but because its different and unique. Not only do I get to explore the world around me, but I get to meet individuals who will become a part of what I know to be true in this world. How awesome!

If you're mind is open enough to partake in this, I think you're good in my book!

Interests

I love making a difference. I love being a leader and modeling some type of positive behavior.

I'm all about creating a positive culture and being true to myself.

I like finding happiness in my days, but also understanding that the universe brings us everything for a reason.

I like being active. A recent favorite is yoga and the art of finding myself one day at a time. I love spending time with my family and friends. I love music festivals and, really, any type of event that allows me to feel as if I am freeing my soul. I love meeting new people.

A glass of wine. Or a good, cold beer.

I love discovering new things around me. I love late nights walks or drives. I love journal writing and reflecting upon myself and the life I lead.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite music is EDM, but I also enjoy country, hip-hop and R&B, spanish- especially bachata. Oh, and I honestly like Christmas music :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Help shape lives. One of the most beautiful gifts in life is giving.

From being a positive influence to the highest type of womanhood with my sorority sisters, to being a go-getter with my family, to helping broaden horizons with my mentees, or just giving a helping hand or a smile to a complete stranger. It's a fun life to lead.

Oh, and EDC Las Vegas. I truly believe everyone should experience it at least once in their life.

Teach, Learn, Share

Let your heart be your religion. Listen to the voice inside of you- it's telling you something. Believe in your hearts aspirations and they shall soon come to light. Every day work towards being the perfect you.

"The secret of change is to focus all energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new."
