About Me

I´m a 26 year old very open minded, fun and easygoing mexican living in Mexico City. I just finished my degree in Political Science and International Relations and I´m working as a research assistant before I decide where to study my PhD, which is great because I have the time to travel and do other fun stuff.

I like to party, eating and cooking, watching movies and tv series, walking, dancing, reading, spending the weekend watching sports, going to concerts and drinking red wine.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My sister and I will be traveling across Europe for a month in September and since we´ll be staying for a short time in each city we thought couchsurffing would be great for us to get a better felling of the city and the locals.
I love meeting new people and making friends from all over the world and I couchsurf is the perfect way to do this.

Interests

I am a huge sports fan, a music addict, I love to cook and to travel.

I´ve been to NBA, NFL, NHL and MLB matches in the USA; a Copa Libertadores game in Argentina; and of course, many football games in Mexico. I also love tenis, F1 and boxing. One of my biggest dreams is to attend a Champions League match.

One of my favorite things is listening to music live and going to music festivals.

I´ve always loved cooking, but since I now work from home I can do it more often and I try to find new and creative ways to make my favorite dishes. i love cooking for my friends and family every time I can.
