About Me

I was born in Bolivia, Cochabamba, and before my 4th birthday my parents and I moved to Buenos Aires, Argentina. We moved around the city many time because of my father's job. When I was at highschool my mother got pregnant and I became a big sister of a little sweet boy. We are really good friends and I love how strong is our relation. I still live with my family because I'm really close to my mother and It's hard for me to leave her side. We share a lot of things and I can't imagine having breakfast without her.
Anyway, I'm working as a teacher of English in an institute in the capital city. I teach kindergartens, kids, teens and seniors, but I also learn a lot from them. Everyday at works seems very long and endless but they make it worthy.
Apart from that I'm part of an Improv group called Impronunciables, which is the spanish for Unpronounceables. The groups is formed by 5 amazing guys and me. Nowadays we're performing once a month for small groups of 50 people. It's really exciting because you never now how things will go.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Someone told that everybody had the opportunity to travel around the world until their 30th birthday. Well, I think that after 32 years spent in following the rules and worrying about others' problems and lives I had enough of it and should start worrying about myself. I must do it.
But as I said, I was always thinking about helping others first and so I haven't saved as much money as I should. I truly believe that "the love you give is equal to the love you get" and therefore I know I'll awesome people that will be willing to give me a chance, a bed, or a couch.

Interests

I love learning new things, people, places, music, authors, films, plays, etc.
I also love improvising and making people laugh. I get a great feeling from helping others.
