About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Show people how cities can be reshaped to have a quality of life. AKA Grow my TikTok account on sustainable cities! and of course, make terms with me being called "content creator" that feels so weird but it's still so true!

ABOUT ME

People describe me as an adventurous, cheerful, active kind of person. And I agree with that description :)
I enjoy nature A LOT, it's my jam. I am practical and open-minded, I love eating but I really don't have the patience to cook, I wish I had but I think I have some other strengths like growing plants, making friends with animals, cleaning, and keeping things simple (like my cooking haha)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've done it only twice! (greate experiences) I love CS, people are really helpful around here whenever I have questions about certain places I've traveled.

Interests

A few years ago I started to notice all the flaws my city had in terms of infrastructure and user experience. I've always liked to move around by bike but in México that's for the poor or the crazy ones, only under those circumstances you would like to risk your life.
I started to inform myself and then I couldn't stop, the more I knew the more I felt I needed to talk about this. I listened to my inner voice (finally!!) this year and started a TikTok account talking about mobility issues in my city and the cities I visit. Also, I'm in the preproduction phase of the Youtube channel, I'm so excited!
This summer I went to Amsterdam for a summer course called Planning the Cycling city. I loved it so much there that I decided to stay longer, my time there is over and now I'm in Edinburgh ready to explore the city and see the state of mobility people experience here!!
