Hello there , my name is Michelle, but my friends call me Mich !
I'm a visual artist and teacher from Ecuador. I'm an open-minded, easygoing person. My heart is fulfilled with passion and I hope to raise awareness every day 💜💫
😃I'm currently living in Australia 🇦🇺🐨 following a new path.
I believe in the power of dreams, that’s why I’m taking this new step !

Art, film, music, traveling , nature are my passions.

Leave it to me as I find a way to be
Consider me a satelite for ever orbiting
I knew all the rules but the rules do not know me 🌈

“Heto mi halanma
Mine waddimi yiddema
Ko ane tane holimi
Holimi ko ndjidirmi o Dunne Dunne
Hum hum waddimi yidde”

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to have multicultural exchanges. New people means new adventures.

Interests

I love Art, Music, Traveling, movies, concerts, books, nature , sports. I never give up when I'm looking for something.
I wouldn't stop till I travel worldwide ;)
Art is not for everyone. Just for the ones who want to share to world some of their essential part, that hidden part.
