About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Get involved with different cultures and places

ABOUT ME

I consider myself how a open mind person, who enjoy to know the experience of other persons, about their trips and culture. Because i think when you listen a story about a place, is like an open door for you, and maybe you can stay there for see everything real. Why i think that, well in my home town i did my social service for almost two years in the principal office of tourism, and when i started i never realized that know people around the world and listen their experiences it would something that i will like very much. So in order to find this feeling, i worked in a hostel too, where i had the opportunity for meet the people a little more, and believe me, it was the best when they would listen the history of your town or your country, I realized too that many people want to be involved in the culture for other lands, just for understand more the way of living in the planet.
I´m trying all the time to laugh, i considerer the smile like a enter of the soul of someone, and love dancing, almost all kind of music.
I´m honest and i like to trust to the people, and i try to express myself every time possible. I dont like persons who think that are better than anybody just for the fact that they have much money. I don´t like neither people who enjoys the suffer of others persons.
I dont smoke and neither drink cafe.
I´m 24 years old, and I dedicated 8 months of this year to finish my school (doing an internship in Germany) and worked like a nanny sitter. By the way, i like kids =).
I´m not at all a party girl,I prefer visit new places or museums that go to get drunk. But of course, I go out in the night for meet new people and have fun.


PHILOSOPHY

""No siempre tendras a tus amigos cerca, pero en el camino regreso a ellos, puedes hacer más de los que te imaginas.."".

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well, i have a small group for spanish learn. Most of the people is from CS.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had few experiences about CS, but like i said before, i had been many times hosted, i mean, offers them go to take a drink or walk into my city in Mexiko. I didn´t meet them for CS, but it was the same, most of the time we spend our times talking about their trips and the tips for have a great travel in Mexico or Latinamerica. It´s like a conection for dont let you to stop to travel.

Interests

History of the countries, the dancing in them, and i have interest in Casttles und Old Churches (just buildings =)). It would be hard for mention every one, but i also really like speak, i mean, i cant handle it so well stay with somebody and dont say any word at all.
Travel of course, meet all kind of people.

Music, Movies, and Books

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seen: Mexiko has wonderful places, like River Maya or Copper Canyon.

Teach, Learn, Share

I had a small group of Spanisch Lessons. And I saw it like a way for learn the language and culture at the same time. I had been always the "teacher" with my friends of my country, so here it wouldn't the exception =). By the way, i like teach to dance, for example salsa, merengue, everything with latinamerica music.
