Quito

CURRENT MISSION Surf this earth and meet cool people along the way ~ and host whenever I stay put long enough to do so. ABOUT ME I'm friendly, outgoing, pierced and love to travel. I'm a Girl Guide and have been for 21 years and counting. I'm a trained ESL teacher because it was the best way I could think of to travel for the rest of my life! So far I have taught in Hong Kong, South Korea, Qatar, Italy, Oman and Spain. I am currently looking for a new teaching position somewhere I have never been before. Never stop exploring! PHILOSOPHY Hippie living - vegetarian/caring/loving and partying.

I am a simple guy who adores traveling and can't imagine his life without it. If you don't read ALL my profile, I won't host you. At least you can say my name and why do you want to meet me. CURRENT MISSION My current mission is to be better every day, to improve my thoughts and knowledge, to learn new stuff and to apply it in my life. I'd love to travel across the 7 continents someday and to be learning every day about new cultures and countries. In fact I want to be a wise person and to be successful in life doing what I love the most. Helping folks and environment. ABOUT ME I like to discover new things, new people and learn new languages. My hobbies are: numismatic, music (but I'm rusty), Of COURSE (traveling), medicine, history, trekking, reading, videogames and learn how can I be a better man everyday. PHILOSOPHY Ascetic. I believe that everyone can do what they like the most if they don't harm or annoy others with their beliefs and behavior. In few words, respect me and I'll respect you. If you want to say something ill-at-ease to me, please say it face to face instead of posting it without the opportunity to explain, fix or apologize. For sure, I will do the same if I have something uneasy to say you. Everybody has to be more tolerant and open minded to avoid taboos and be able to make some interesting conversations without being worried about making a lethal joking or speaking mistake. I am and I hope you are too. I’m straight but don’t discriminate against the LGBT community. Open to nearly all types of people. ATTENTION: COUCHSURFING FOR ME IS A BEUTIFUL COMMUNITY THAT CONNECTS TRAVELERS TO INTERACT AND MAKE FRIENDS IN THE WAY, IS NOT A DATING APP!. And an advise, every app is a dating app....if you're creepy enough. Please learn that a NO is a NO. My goal with Couchsurfing is not hook up, getting laid or using it in any way that remotely resembles Tinder but for Friendships with awesome people around the world. If you're going to a party while I'm hosting you don't hesitate to ask and please invite me too. AND If there's one thing I've learned about couchsurfing, it's to avoid all offers for massages and shared beds.

CURRENT MISSION Aprender, vivir, conocer, ser feliz, elevar el nivel de vibración 🌎 =)- ABOUT ME Me gusta ayudar, conocer y no pongo limites a la imaginación o a las personas, trabajo haciendo la que me gusta, doy clases de bateria, percusion y solfeo a niños y jóvenes, toco cualquier tipo de música en cualquier lugar por mi trabajo y tengo una banda de rock. Doy clases de bici, capacitaciones y terapias holisticas: Reiki, Hipnosis, kinecuántica, sonoterapia, visión extra ocular. PHILOSOPHY como alguien dijo "todo lo que necesitas es amor", AMOR INCONDICIONAL y otro dijo "Pocos mortales conocen los enormes beneficios a los que se llega sin sentir vergüenza ni temor"

VERSIÓN EN ESPAÑOL ¡Bienvenides todes! ☺️ Por favor, lean mi perfil, cuidadosamente. Soy una MUJER TRANS (Ella) 🏳️‍⚧️. Activista Política/Ciudadana de a pie/Performer/Funcionaria pública. #PalestinaLibre 🇵🇸 #SionismoNoMás SOBRE LA ESTANCIA: Me gusta compartir tiempo y actividades con mis huéspedes, aunque, debido a diversas circunstancias personales (principalmente, menos expectativas en la gente), mi compromiso podría ser solo el hospedar. 😌 Vivo en pleno centro de Quito: una de las zonas más animadas, transitadas y activas de la ciudad. Si eres sensible al ruido, por favor tenlo en cuenta. La cama de la habitación cruje; si sabes cómo eliminar o reducir el ruido, te lo agradeceré. Si no, confío en que no te moleste al dormir, o, puedes acomodarte en un colchón decente en la zona común, un sofá cama o, si traes un saco de dormir, ¡problema resuelto! Si tienes la suerte de ocupar la habitación privada, NO CIERRES PUERTAS NI VENTANAS MIENTRAS NO ESTÉS EN LA HABITACIÓN. Mi espacio es siempre un área abierta SOBRE MÍ: Mi estilo de vida es sencillo. Reduzco, reutilizo, reciclo Me considero una Embajadora de CS y estoy orgullosa de no tener ninguna insignia oficial Amo: Hablar, Escribir, Cantar, Bailar (salsa/cumbia mis favoritos), la playa 🏖️, la comida en todas sus formas: desde la callejera o de mercado hasta la comida gourmet. Practico yoga y meditación. He entablado conexiones profundas y duraderas a través de CS. Por tanto, creo firmemente que 🌞 CS se trata de conocer personas, no destinos🤝, y sí, creo en la química, las energías y las buenas vibras. CS acerca a las personas y genera la confianza de decir/preguntar. CouchSurfing NO es esa app que solo usas para encontrar alojamiento gratis, OJO! Si crees que hay algo que sabes o haces muy bien y que quizás necesito en mi casa y en mi vida, y puedes compartirlo conmigo, no dudes en hacerlo por favor. Como cocinar por ejemplo, ¡ja! La intención me es muy importante: conecto especialmente con mensajes de solicitud o perfiles bien motivados. NOTA: Soy formal con los procedimientos de CS para solicitar y aceptar solicitudes. Las referencias equivalen a opiniones reales sobre huéspedes y anfitriones. Y se escriben SIEMPRE. PD: Me entusiasma el recibir a personas nudistas que puedan ayudarme a disfrutar, mejorar y sentirme cómoda con esta práctica, conjunta, en casa. (Si practicas el nudismo/naturalismo, por favor menciónalo en tu solicitud. Si no lo practicas, lo respetaré, obviamente). 💡 🐑Instagram 📸: @marifrancirdv 🐖Telegram: @marifranci_ec ENGLISH VERSION ​Welcome to everyone ☺️ Please read my profile "carefully". I'm a TRANS WOMAN 🏳️‍⚧️ (She/Her/Hers), Human being/Political Activist, Performer and Government Official. ​#FreePalestine 🇵🇸 #StopZionism ​ ​ABOUT THE STAY: ​I like to share time and activities with my guests, though, due to various personal circumstances (mainly, less expectations in people), my main commitment could be just hosting. 😌 I live in the very downtown of Quito: one of the most lively, transited and active areas in the city. If you're sensitive to noise, please be aware of it. ​The bed in the guest room squeaks. If you know how to remove/reduce noise, I'll appreciate it. If not, then I trust it won't bother you while sleeping. ​There's also an extra decent mattress, a sofa-bed or if you bring with you a sleeping bag, well, it's solved. If you're lucky enough to occupy the private room, DOOR DON'T GET CLOSED OR ASSURED / WINDOW OPEN IF YOU'RE NOT IN THE ROOM. My place is an open surface, always. ​ABOUT ME: ​My life style is simple. ​Reduce, reuse, recycle. ​I consider myself as a CS Ambassador, proudly with no any official Embassy badge. ​I love: talking, writing, dancing, (salsa, tropical, among my favorite rhythms); the beach 🏖️; food in all its forms (from street or market to gourmet food). I do practice yoga and meditation. I have fallen in deep connections with people while using CS. 🌞I do strongly believe that CS is about knowing people, not about destinations; then chemistry, energies and good vibes, already uses to get people closer and talk/solve. ​ ​CouchSurfing IS NOT that app that you use to find a place to stay for free If you think that there are something you do really well, and maybe I do need that something on my place and in my life, and you are allowed to share it with me, please do not hesitate to do it: Like cooking, for example. LoL! ​Intention matters: I do specifically connect with well motivated request messages and/or sufficiently fulfilled profiles. ​NOTE: I'm formal about the CS procedures, to request / accept requests. References are the equivalent to true opinions about guests and hosts. Please write them! ​Pd. I feel enthusiastic about hosting nudist people who can help me to enjoy, improve, and feel comfortable together with this practice. (If you are nudist/naturalist please mention it in your request. If not, I'll respect it and keep it for myself) 👀
