I am from Mexico and recently moved to Amsterdam! I have frequent and restless wanderlust; a love for travel, regular old curiosity and I'm always hungry to explore. I am consumed by the constant refinement of intertwining work with passion. Have a certain fascination for education, human potential, innovation and artistic expressions. I consider myself an easy-going person who likes to help people in every way possible. I'm very open and I'm always looking for new experiences.

Outdoors fan, hiking, foodie, dancing enthusiast, avid traveller, love playing board games (especially Catan and Backgammon) and practicing yoga.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

Mainly because I really enjoy meeting new people. But also because I believe the best way to explore a new place is through locals - they allow you to understand their culture much better as well.

Centres d'intérêt

I enjoy meeting people from all over the world, discussing ideas, broadening perceptions and sharing passions. Love dancing, listening to music, walking anywhere/everywhere, I'm a total foodie (favorite cuisines are Mexican, Thai, Peruvian and Japanese), yoga, reading, ... I'm also a big TED talks and The School of Life fan.
