About Me

I am small, very creative, and can be fun and crazy (just the right amount, as I am very respectful to others).
A passionate reader, can´t help to write so I work on getting better at it.
I love people and can be very social if I find an interesting conversation, but at the same time I enjoy solitude and silence.
I love to travel and learn more. I can´t seem to stop that passion.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to go to Seattle next weekend. I have heard great comments about Couchsurfing so I thought I would give it a try. Traveling for me is about meeting the local people, I prefer that 100 times more than being a disconnected tourist. I have stayed in houses of many friends and families in Latinamerica during the last 10 years of my life, where I have lived, worked and travelled extensively. I have lived in Quito - Ecuador; Bogotá - Colombia; and México City; and have stayed also with my extended family in Buenos Aires - Argentina; as well as in Pasadena - California. These experiences have changed my life compared to the efimerous tourist experiences of staying in hotels that do not inspire me as much.

Music, Movies, and Books

Maybe a bibliophile has no favourite books. Books, cities and people are my passion, and all I have loved them all. Books are my life´s record book. Roads that take me to the next station.
I love jazz, tango, salsa & classic music.
Movies? Independent, art film, not much Hollywood stuff please.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveling, changing, studying has allowed me to live many lives in one.

Teach, Learn, Share

Impossible not to, as we are in constant exchange with life.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My words, my presence, my experiences. I love to have a great conversation and a nice cup of coffee / tea.
