About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to rejoice in life's little pleasures...

ABOUT ME

i love danza and pretty much any and all movement. a deep affection for the huehueteotl and traveling as much as i possibly can...ask me anything you would like, i am very open. : ]

PHILOSOPHY

i strive for peace. not only within myself but to offer this to people around me in any way that i can.
i am very passionate about women's issue---really any individual who is oppressed and suffering---man or woman.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I really like the concept of couch surfers! Traveling to a foreign country can be an amazing experience, but I think it is at its best when one TRULY immerses oneself in the country's customs.

Interests

i love danza! indigenous culture, dancing ( the 'regular' kind), reading feminist theory, late night chats, running (when i'm not too lazy!) art! music!
