I am native to Michoacán, Mexico and have lived in Colorado for 25 years. I realized that I had been living inside of a comfort bubble for so long, so I decided to take a step into the abyss with faith that the next step would find it's stable landing; and so I burst the bubble and began exploring parts of the world I hadn't been to. I ended my travels in San Cristobal, Chiapas, México which is where I now call home. There I am learning leatherwork and have a workspace in the house/hostel that my partner and I administer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've spent most of my life in one place, but I was born to climb across the map. Also, I want to meet and learn about different people in parts yet to be explored.

Interests

Delicious meals with family/friends, dancing, attending concerts, skateboarding, finding creative ways to repurpose items considered waste, meditating, jumping into bodies of water, camping, climbing trees, fishing, painting, yoga, sprouting seeds and caring for them, bike rides, sewing with my machine, crocheting, cooking, drinking a delicius cup of coffee/tea, trying/tasting something new, and sitting atop the earth and soaking in sunshine/moon beams/stars.
