I’m a Colombian/Venezuelan living in South Africa since 2016. I’m a Creative soul, writer and artist; former Journalist in home country and Spanish Teacher in international schools. Now, after eight years of healing and self development work I’m called as an Spiritual/Healing Advisor.

I share my home with tenants, and was also hosting through Airbnb. Now on Couchsurfing! I host/co-host activities related with healthy living, communication games, spiritual or emotional support, and healing related, and that’s mostly a free service to the community.

I love to connect with people from different contexts and cultures, I’m educated, travelled, and I am always willing to make new friendships with an open heart and mind. I’m interested in the arts, chess, dancing, meditation, hiking, the sea, a healthy lifestyle, and deep meaningful conversations.

I don’t smoke neither drink alcohol that much (only occasionally), and even though I’m vegetarian at home I’m super flexible when eating out or invited. When traveling, I would prefer homes where there is no much smoking or heavy drinking, to be able to share more.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

On my 50th Birthday I promised myself to recover the adventurous side of me that has been very calm lately, and considering I want to continue traveling as well as hosting, I found this platform a good opportunity as an exchange with life and good energy. I need to open again my experiences in the world and call more international interactions which I love so much!

Music, Movies, and Books

At home I listen relaxing music to concentrate or cleanse the space energetically. But I also play pop/rock music and other genres to cheer me up, exercise and just have fun around the house. I love music and follow up according to my mood and spirit of the moment.

Regarding movies, I love the artistic ones, romantic, drama, biographies, thrillers, comedies, and the action ones for the big screen. My favorite are those that play with different dimensions in their narrative, that play with your mind, time and space and make you wonder.

For books, I read mostly now related with the development of the mind, self help, healing and spirit.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have done many things a bit out of the ordinary for a latin woman. Have checked skydiving, paragliding, canyoning, sailing, hitchhiking across my country, played in a theatre, had a radio program, quit once a good corporative job to drive a taxi instead, met people from many countries, used to hang out in embassies, also explored slums in Luanda, have done medicinal plants (Ahuayasca, Iboga, Mushrooms, San Pedro, Peyote), and have been in a sort of semi retired life style without being retired since I was 43. But my biggest accomplishment was to raise my son on my own while doing all those things and more.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach from the heart, learn from the silence of the mind, share living through the eyes of the soul.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share all my authentic self, an honest heart and open mind, ready to listen as much as needed. I could teach briefly Spanish, be a Spiritual Advisor (healing or self discovery), show how to draw/paint creatively, and inspire to dance freely or speak/listen/sing from the heart. I can also help cooking.
