CURRENT MISSION

Hi, my name is Estivaliz and I have the dream to travel to another country not for comfort but for the joy of gainig new experiences about other cultures and landscapes

ABOUT ME

I'm a quiet, simple, small and easygoing type of person who likes to get in touch with any kind of places surrounded by special stories, it doesn't matter if it's a very small rural village or a big busy city. At first, I'm shy with people, maybe I'll be more the type of person that hears and nod in conversations rather than talk, but I can talk if they want me to do it.

I LOVE traveling.

PHILOSOPHY

In this phase of my life I'm looking for my way of though, trying to clarify all the events I had in the past and expand my vision to other horizons that I will be disposed to take.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had experiences traveling to urban and rural areas in my state;
San Antonio, El Triunfo, Todos Santos,Rancho Las Ánimas, San Luis Gonzága, Loreto, Las Barrancas, La Purísima, San Miguel y San José de Comondú,San Isidro, San Javier, Rancho El Rosarito, Santa Rosalía, Mulegé, San Ignacio, Sierra San Francisco and Bahía Magdalena. Staying under the bright light of the stars in the night and near a campfire, with people from ranchos and towns that were very kind, welcoming and affable. Those places have beautiful landscapes, historical buildings,breathtaking works of art made inside of caves and special activities which had a deep impact on me about my vision about traveling which has a more important purpose that just going for pleasure.
