About Me

I’m an open-minded person who likes to laugh, have fun, make new friends, visit new places and try delicious food.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

For me, traveling is about meeting people, not just seeing places. I love connecting with different cultures, learning from others’ experiences, sharing stories, and discovering tips only locals can give.
I use Couchsurfing because I believe in hospitality, honest conversations, and the friendships that naturally grow from them.

I’m aware that some people use this app for dating or casual hookups—but that’s not my intention. I use Couchsurfing for its original purpose: to connect with kind, open-minded people from around the world.

Interests

I’m deeply interested in psychology, different cultures, meaningful travel, and deep conversations. I enjoy learning from people’s experiences, getting to know their customs, how they see life, and how they live day to day. I also love art, traditional food from every country, books, languages, and the little details that make each place unique.

I truly value mutual respect, empathy, and authenticity in every encounter. I love sharing ideas, listening to stories, and making new friendships around the world 🌍✨

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My daughter.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach:
I can share about Guatemalan culture—our traditions, typical foods (like pepián, tamales, atol), our colorful textiles, Holy Week celebrations, and the mix of Mayan and Spanish influences. I can also teach Spanish and share what I’ve learned about psychology and mental well-being.

Learn:
I love learning about how people live, their customs, new recipes, languages, and different ways of thinking. I'm very curious about what others can teach me from their life experiences.

Share:
Authentic conversations, curiosity, respect, and a positive attitude. I enjoy sharing stories, ideas, local food when possible, and always a warm smile.
