Hola! I'm currently doing an exchange program in Madrid. I love to laugh, very curious, and I love to create new stories. I was born in Ecuador and I have lived in Chicago for almost 15 years now.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new places and the people that make the place come to life! I love meeting new people and I think both parties involved will learn a lot and have a great time.

The more I learn about couch surfing the more I love it and I know that the times that I will spend with my hosts will always stay in my memory. I know English and Spanish so if you would like to practice it I would be more than happy.

I can't host because I'm in a dorm with a roommate, but if you come to Madrid I can for sure give you a tour around Madrid :) OR if you come to Chicago, you can definitely have a tour with me.

Interests

Running. Travelling. Rock climbing. My cat Mishi. Going to the beach or to a tall mountain and just contemplating our beautiful planet :)

Teach, Learn, Share
