About Me

Hello, I am 28 years old born and raised in México, but now living in USA. However, at the moment I am wondering around the world for a month. I am a passionate individual, a seeker of adventure and genuinely interested in cultures aside from my very own. A lover of animals, music, and gazer of stars! A dreamer and chocolate lover. I consider myself as a very easy going person. I am huge running enthusiast.

I dance, sing, play guitar and piano. Indeed, every time I get a hold of a piano I change my day plans.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really want to travel the world as authentic as it can get, I think staying with locals is the most vivid experience of the places you visit. So I try to make it a mission of living as a local wherever I go. I did that in Asia and it was definitely well worth the effort!

Someday, once I go back home I will host people in my own home and pay forward all the great things and hospitality I've been offered!

Interests

The Earth without art is just... Eh!
Any form of expression is interesting!
I'm an avid reader of all kinds of genres, but biographies is up there on the top 3!

I really am into adventure, music, getting to know people and their culture, thus I believe that learning languages and costumes is an awesome thing to do!

There many other things I enjoy doing such as paragliding, sailing, mountain biking and things alike. It's an endorphin kinda thing haha.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: Ghandi's Autobiography, Benjamin Franklin's Autobiography, The "Celestine Prophecy" by James Redfield, and many other books!

Music: World Music is awesome, I like beats and drums, I think is essential to keep me going!
Classical guitars sound so beautiful!

Movies: I don't watch much TV, but Shrek is my favorite movie!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Uff! it's a hard one, but I think the fact that I traveled Taiwan on a 20 year old scooter in 12 days in all kinds of weather in the middle of February (which is Winter) was a very memorable thing I have done. Including climbing Mt. Xueshan (aka Snow Mountain) at an elevation of 3660 meters above sea level!

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a big interest in learning any sort of instrument I can get my hands on. So far I have learned some ocarina (a Taiwanese flute), bağlama (Turkish guitar), and a little bit of madal (a Nepali hand drum).

You can teach me your language or anything you want!
I will teach you Spanish if you're interested :)

And we can go running or do anything outdoorsy!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am currently traveling, but once I am back home- Boulder or Colorado Springs I will be able to host up to 2 people at a time! I have a guest room I can provide and lots of things to and places to show you around in the beautiful Rocky Mountains!

- If you're visiting in the winter, obviously hitting the slopes for skiing and snowboarding is a MUST!
- If you're visiting in the summer, the mountains and rivers offer a grand playground!
