About Me

I'm from Mexico City but most of my life I've been living in Aguascalientes and the last six months in Los Angees. I'm a very shy human, but I love the deep conversations about almost anything, specially when I can learn or teach something. I have very few friends but when I consider someone my friend, all my loyalty and empathy are going to be there for you forever. I studied finance but along with my career I also make an art career, I use to have a bellydance school but in order to make this trip reality I closed it :( I am sure is going to be worth :)
I'm learning to paint with watercolors and I would love to be good at it someday. I am part of a beautiful family of five members but I still hang out with my grandparents, they are great and teach me a lot of being grateful and hardworker since I raised among them. I've been for almost four years with my boyfriend and I think this travel is going to be really important for our relationship.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been thinking about making a trip for about ten years since I visited Europe for the first time, I put on the idea all the excuses I can possible think of: don't have money, the world is mostly evil, I'm afraid of the political issues out there, since I'm not very extrovert maybe I'm not gonna make any friends, I don't knew anyone anywhere, and so on...
But now, my boyfriend encourage me (at the same time I do the same with him) to pursue that dream, because after all this years I finally understand this is such a fragile life and the world is so amazing that we need to go out and take a little bit of all the amazing things there are outside, a friend recommended me doing this trip couchsurfing and I think this is one of the best ways to meeting people from the country and I think this is the most important thing, go to a country with the recommendations of someone from there, also to making friends, sharing a lot about myself with others, help in some way with the knowledge I have, being part of a world community and of course when I finish my trip, do the same thing with others back home.

Music, Movies, and Books

This going to be a problem since I love all of the above. I love arabic music and jazz, rock, cumbia & salsa but, since I love to dance all dancing music is good for me.
My favorite movies: Fantastic ones and drama ( I cry with everything)
Favorite books: art, philosophy and historic novels.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think one of the most amazing thing I've done is teaching to dance to others. I like to dance, but teaching is a serious path to follow, and I love it, to change someone's life just with art is tremendously satisfying, so of course, my students changed my life also. I had a school with almost seventy students and teached to almost two hundred persons. I directed dance ensembles and scenic projects with a lot of people involved, I never thought I could be capable of doing something like that!

Teach, Learn, Share

Since I am now in the path of teaching I am open to teach anything I know, actually that's the purpose of my life. So I dance, paint, draw but I also know about finance, investing and accounting (I've been doing finances from the past ten years), of course I can share my language: Spanish or English. If someone is interested in learning any of these, here I am!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Of course by receiving me you deserve all my respect, because help someone is one way straight to heaven and if I can be your host in your next trip to Aguascalientes, Mexico, I'll be glad to. I can help with housekeeping, warm conversation with a lot of Mexican traditional stories, mariachi songs and Mexican food recipes!
