I’m a Sociologist, I dedicate myself to photography as a means of expression. To find narratives that not only speak from the personal but on the contrary share forms and new ways of looking, and to empathise. I am often creating photographic series. I also have a workshop for making windows and doors with aluminum, and I am constantly creating photographic series.

I love learning to cook food from different cultures, I can also share my culture from food to language, I speak Spanish and Zapotec- an indigenous language. I come from a native community so I don't consider myself demanding, I grew up with little, and I'm happy to now be able to meet people from around the world along the way. I also like everything related to cultivating the land and I love spending time with pets, animals, and taking care of them.
I love board games.

For now i’m living in Santa Ana del Valle, very quiet and friendly village, 40 min from de city, very easy to take the public transport, come. There is lots to do around here, and enjoy and landscape. I’m near to Hierve el Agua (nearer than if you would go from the city of Oaxaca).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

CS is a great opportunity to meet and share the journey with people, to make connections. I am here to give, receive and of course share mutual support and experiences. Some of my best experiences while travelling were with Couchsurfing, and I love showing people my culture at home.

Interests

I am interested in understanding people, sharing experiences and helping each other to reach and achieve our goals. I want to learn other languages, and I would love to surf, and have recently learned diving!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2023 I won a photography contest in my city of Oaxaca, and I had the opportunity to have a photography exhibition called "Galnasák" at the "Manuel Alvarez Bravo" Photography Center about healing in my community. I also took that same exhibition to Cyprus to exhibit it and share a little of my work.
Later, I continued working on another photographic series called "Collar de Limon" a family series that addresses the importance of memory as a means of healing, it is a series in memory of my sister who passed away.
I recently finished another series called "Mesauria" about the situation of the territorial conflict on the Island of Cyprus, creating a series focused on documentary fiction about a historical fact of the disappearance of people when the invasion broke out, which is currently a mystery their disappearance.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach basic concepts about photography, and recommend my photographers and visual artists who have trained me. I can also teach how to cultivate . If you are interested in Spanish, I can share what I know and of course help you with any tasks you may have.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Accommodation and if there is time to help you understand and get to know the area and the territory where I live, also if I have time to take you to see nearby places and share cooking, I can offer you a place to sleep and food too, you are welcome to my town and my house, and I can support you in whatever you need.
