About Me

CURRENT MISSION
COVID-19 Update: fully vaccinated since 25 Sep 2021 and taking all safety measures.
I like to travel as much as I can, I love to go to new places, meet new people, eat new food and know new cultures.

ABOUT ME
Interested for learning everything life can bring. I think I can always learn from my experiences and I try to apply what I learnt to improve who I am.

PHILOSOPHY

Between people as between countries, respectful for other's rights means peace.

If you are a good person is more probable that you meet good people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to make others have a nice time in my city, interchange opinions, knowledge and tips. I expect something similar from people who would like to host me :)
I have met a lot of cool local people through CSurfing, so I like to participate in activities in MXC (when I am not too tired). Unfortunately, I am not hosting by the moment.

Me gusta hacer pasar una buena estancia en mi ciudad a quienes vienen a visitarla. También esperaría lo mismo de quienes quisieran hospedarme :)
He conocido a gente super linda aqui en el DF por lo que casi siempre me gusta participar en actividades locales (cuando no estoy muy cansada). Desafortunadamente, por el momento no estoy hospedando.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I knew about CS because of a friend I met in polyglotclub.com. Thank you very much, Cris! I had three experiences as a surfer in Paris, and all of them were great! (June 2010) I've been hosted by: Cristophe, Isadora, and Ariel. Before joining CS, many of my closest friends stayed at my home sometimes.

Antes de unirme a CS muchos de mis amigos cercanos se han quedado en mi casa algunas veces. Me uní a CSurfing por un amigo que conocí através de polyglot.com (Muchas gracias Cris!) tuve 3 experiencias como surfer en París y todas fueron geniales, (Junio 2010).
