I’m a 19 year old Mexican, currently studying Biology and Film in New York.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m on couchsurfing because I really like to travel and meet new people, but as most college students, don’t have the luxury to stay at standard places which can be quite expensive. I also travel alone quite often, and love to get to know people in unfamiliar places!

Teach, Learn, Share

I have experience teaching both English and Spanish (taught Spanish classes at my college, and tutored English in my city). I love to learn slang and basic sayings in foreign languages, and pretty much learning everything and anything, especially fun facts about random things.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My culture, Spanish lessons, Bachata dancing, English lessons, good conversation (hopefully).
