CURRENT MISSION
Become the best version of myself

ABOUT ME
I'm an artist, a teacher and backpacker, love to explore new places, to learn, to talk about life and culture. I'm very easy going and curious.

PHILOSOPHY

"Andabamos sin buscarnos pero sabiendo que andabamos para encontrarnos." Julio Cortazar
Something like: "We were walking without looking for each other but knowing that we will meet each other."
I'm sure that every person I run into came to teach me something and maybe learn something with me.

I love to meet people and help them in whatever they need =]

I think the most important thing we should practice everyday is respecting other people beliefs.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I traveled around Latin America and was hosted by amazing people. I learned a lot about me and others; it's been a really rewarding experience!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I was introduced to CS people through the CS hangout option, and I had so much fun that I decided to be part of this community.

I believe CS is a great way to know places uniquely!

I stayed in couches in Brazil, the USA, Canada, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Peru, Argentina, Germany, Lithuania, the UK, and the Netherlands.
