My name is Frida, I'm Mexican and I'm 29. I love music and arts in general, as well as humanities and social sciences. I love reading and I've traveled to different countries. I also enjoy meeting new people, although I'm not the most sociable and talkative person, it's easy for me to gain confidence with new people, I also love listening to people who have a different way of life than mine.

I love dancing and going to raves, or any event that has to do with electronic music parties :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's a nice way to meet people from all over the world
