About Me

CURRENT MISSION

take risk and never regret!

ABOUT ME

I've recently gained a great interested in extreme sports such as surfing, kiteboarding, snowboarding, snow kiting. I hope to get better at these each season.
I love food! I don't go out as much as I wish but am always open to trying new places. I also enjoy cooking and finding new recipes to to try out.
I enjoy concerts, more indie type where people have not yet been discovered. I think this is always when they are at their peak.

PHILOSOPHY

live and never regret.
I often feel like people put to much attention to the bad things of their past. They hold on to what happened and somehow they stop looking forward. We need to learn from what we have done and make a better change. Life can only get better but its up to us to make it work that way. I don't like to regret life: it happens for a reason. I've made my center to God, he is my peace, joy and most of all hope.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have surfed, hosted, and hung out.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Did all my couch surfing summer 2009 and loved every single experience even if they were weird. I hosted for two years and have taken a break since.
I think I will be surfing soon. Maybe take a backpack trip in my home country, Guatemala.

Interests

I love being outside and anything outdoors. Climbing, camping, traveling to say a few. Movies! I like action, zombie, sci-fi and of course romantic comedies.
I just love hanging out, drinking wine and getting to know the story that has made people become who they are.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Waking up before sunrise one morning, a bunch of us hopped into canoes and quietly began paddling down a little stream before anyone woke up. Listening to the sound of the paddles against the waters, watching beautiful lillies floating by and stopping in the middle of nowhere to see the sunrise from the bottom of the river as it's reflection hit the still waters.
It was so beautiful.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can speak spanish to you but I'm bad at teaching it.
I'd love to learn more french.
I love sharing food. Mostly because I can never make my mind on what I want to get so if we share it's like trying most of the menu without having to loads of money.
I will also share my Ukelele with you and teach you the little that I know. OR am open to being taught!
I WOULD LOVE TO MEET MORE SURFER/ SNOWBOARDERS mostly because I want to learn how to get better at these.
