My name is Andrea Velazquez, I'm 25 years old. I'm from Chiapas, México but recently move to Palo Alto California to work as an au pair (nanny) and have the hole American experience for at least one year. I love chocolate and junk food or maybe all kind of food, watch lot of movies, go out with friends, sometimes go to a parties or just something relax like go to the cinema, have dinner or just te.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to meet new people and I think is a great opportunity for other to get to know my culture (our food, our personalities and custom) as I get to know them. Also maybe practice my english or learn another language (I´m not so good at it but I can learn some words). I consider is great for us as traveler´s to have a place where to stay anywhere

Interests

When I travel like to seesights, try their food, do some photography (not as a pro, just for fun and to have something to remember), try local activities. I´m very open about everything

Music, Movies, and Books

Like to listen pop, electro, elctro-house, a bit of rock, jazz and hip hop.
Love to watch movies but my favorite is secondhand lions, I'm a bit childish so I love almost every disney movie or any movie with a great message.
I prefer books that are always teach something like "the wisdom of compassion", "30 lessons for living" that make me be better and understands better the world.
