Hiiiii my name is Julia , I am Mexican and I’m doing an academic exchange at University of Leeds.

I love to be connected with myself. I generally find this connection through movement. There’s a phrase that I love that says “there is not stagnant mind in a moving body”. I’m looking forward to move myself in different ways and open mi mind, meeting new people, new cultures, new lifestyles and perspectives of the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My sister did solo traveling for 6 months and she recommended Coachsurfing to me.
I am looking forward to meeting open minded people from different places. I think Coachsurfing is a really good opportunity to visit a place and get the full experience of that place, (not the typical touristic way)

Music, Movies, and Books

My playlist is full of different music styles, if you play my Spotify you can get a Mariachi song or an indie song, but mainly a like to listen to indie-alternative music. I absolutely love music 🎵 such a beautiful way to awaken your soul.

I love to watch dramas, historical, romantic, or comedy movies. It’s so hard to think of my favorite one

I don’t really read much (wish I did, trying to build the habit), but the I loved Siddharta from Herman Hesse.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Culture and language exchange I love to have different conversation with people that have a totally different life. I love to get involved with daily activities so always can do some help with the activities at your place and of course a place to stay back home.
