English version:

Born in la "Perla Preciosa" aka Cuba, and raised in Venezuela, but have lived in the United States many many years. I'm pursuing my MA at Johns Hopkins SAIS in Washington D.C. and currently serving a Fellowship with Save the Children in Mexico City. Hence, I'm new to this wonderful, eclectic city, and looking to explore it all! I enjoy reading, drinking craft beer, immersing myself in different cultures and making beautiful connections with other fine folks.

Spanish version:

Naci en la "Perla Preciosa", también conocida como Cuba, y me crie en Venezuela, pero he vivido en los Estados Unidos durante muchos años. Estoy completando mi maestría en Johns Hopkins SAIS en Washington D.C. y actualmente estoy trabajando con una ONG, Save the Children, en la Ciudad de México hasta finales de agosto. Por lo tanto, soy nueva en esta maravillosa y ecléctica ciudad, y busco explorarla entera! Me gusta leer, tomar cerveza artesanal, sumergirme en diferentes culturas y hacer hermosas conexiones con otras personas.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm new to the city and looking to make friends, both with locals and expats living here. I've met wonderful people on this site that have turned into lifelong friends and I'm looking to do the same here.
