ABOUT ME

I lived in Mexico City for 8 years and I'm now based in French Guyana (3 years). I think with my feet.
I'm a multidisciplinary artist, working with local and natural pigments. I also teach English and Spanish at the university. In Mexico I had a street paper and was mostly photography based. Now my practice is more and more connected with ecological (and ecofeminist) themes.

I am happy, independent and curious. I love to walk through cities (and nature) for hours on end, meet locals, discover hidden corners and take photos.

I am happy to put my hammock up anywhere!

PHILOSOPHY

we are always at the beginning of seeing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A bit random and sporadic! I have stayed with French Guianese locals in Paris, and before that it was 2014 in El Salvador. It's always fantastic to see a place through the eyes of people who know it a little.

no hosting as of yet, you're welcome in French Guyana until September!
