About Me

Hi! I'm a writer and visual artist, but I teach arts for a living. I live in San Luis Potosí, and like to travel and know different cultures.

Hola, soy escritora y artista visual, pero doy clases de arte para ganarme la vida. Resido en San Luis Potosí, y me gusta viajar y conocer diversas culturas.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd like to meet travelers to familiarize with other cultures, and, of course, travel my self. I like to get involved with the places I visit beyond the turistic aspects: I want to know how locals live each city, the art and culture, the food and colors of every place.

Me gustaría conocer viajeros para familiarizarme con otras culturas, y, por supuesto, viajar. Me agrada involucrarme con los lugares que visito màs allà de los aspectos meramente turísticos: prefiero conocer la manera en que los habitantes viven su ciudad, el arte, la cultura, la comida y los colores.

I like rock music, specially gothic rock, brith pop, etc. But I listen lots of different kinds of music. For example: The Cure, Placebo, Christian Death, Franz Ferdinand, Devics, Muse, Cranberries, Cranes, Depeche Mode, Ashbury Heigths, Sex Pistols, Nirvana, Diamanda Galas, Bauhaus, Garbage etc etc etc

I like independent films, drama, acid humour etc. I love Tim Burton, Greenaway, Jodorowsky, etc. But I also enjoy some hollywood movies once in a while. My favourite movies are: "The Polar Circle Lovers". "Kissed", "Cracks", "Dreamers" etc.

Reading is one of my passions, so, to me, it's almost impossible to make a list, but I'll mention some of my favourite books: Lolita (Vladimir Nabokov), The Venus In Furs (Masoch), The evil Flowers (Baudelaire), The Little Prince (Saint Exupery)... anything from Bataille, Rimbaud, Alessandro Baricco, García Márquez, Borges, Cortazar, Paul Auster, Bukowski, Houllebeq, Mishima, Sade, Alexandre Dumas, Dostoievski, Tolstoi, Oscar Wilde, etc etc etc

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share spanish, drawing and reading&writing lessons. I enjoy to cook, so, I'm allways ready to make a mexican or so meal. I'll be delighted to give away drawings and paintings or a copy of my books. I can share experiences and long chats about any subject whne I'm comfotrtable. I offer my home for anyone who wants to visit me or this city.

Puedo compartir clases de dibujo, de español y de lectura y redacción. Me gusta cocinar y estoy siempre lista para cocinar comida mexicana (o algo asì). Me encantará obsequiar algún dibujo, pintura o un ejemplar de mis libros a mi anfitrión. Me gustaría compartir experiencias y cuando estoy cómoda puedo charlar sobre cualquier cosa.
