About Me

Hola and Hello! 🌎✨

New to here!

I'm a vibrant blend of Mexican roots with a Californian twist, served with a side of adventure and a sprinkle of culinary magic. 🌮🌅 Raised in the sun-kissed landscapes of California, I've surfed not only waves but diverse cultures, thanks to my heritage and upbringing.

Sports? Count me in! 🏐🏄 Whether it's the adrenaline rush of a close game or the serene silence of nature that calls, I'm there with bells on. Hiking is my meditation, and nature is my sanctuary. I believe every mountain top whispers secrets, if you're willing to make the climb.

Speaking of secrets, have you ever danced with spices? In the kitchen, I transform into a culinary wizard, where flavors from around the world duel on the taste buds. Cooking is my love language, and I'm all about sharing that love one plate at a time. 🍲❤️

But here's the twist: I'm not just about the thrill of the next hike or the quest for the perfect taco. As a proud member of the Peace Corps for teachers, I'm on a mission to spread knowledge and ignite curiosity in young minds across the globe. 🌍📚 It's not just teaching; it's about weaving a tapestry of understanding and compassion that stretches across continents.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

1. To Turn My Living Room into a Live Museum: Every guest brings with them a piece of the world, turning my humble abode into a vibrant gallery of cultures, languages, and stories. Unlike a museum, though, touching and interacting with the exhibits is highly encouraged!

2. The World Comes to Me: Who needs a plane ticket when the world knocks on your door? Hosting on Couchsurfing is my version of globe-trotting, minus the jet lag. It's like having a living, breathing atlas where every page turn is a new adventure.

3. Culinary World Tour Without Leaving the Kitchen: As a self-proclaimed chef of international intrigue, I relish the opportunity to both share my own recipes and dive spoon-first into the culinary traditions of my guests. From Thai to Italian, my kitchen has seen more nationalities than the United Nations' cafeteria.

4. Instant Karma Points: In a world that can sometimes feel disconnected, offering a slice of home to a traveler is my way of knitting the world a little closer together. Plus, I like to think of it as banking karma points for when I'm on the road.

5. Educational Exchange Without Tuition Fees: Every guest is a teacher in disguise, offering lessons in geography, linguistics, and the art of living. My living room has become a classroom where the curriculum is life itself, and the only homework is laughter and shared stories.

6. For the Unexpected Friendships: Couchsurfing has a magical way of turning strangers into friends, and sometimes, friends into family. It's about building a global network, not of contacts, but of connections that last a lifetime.

7. Because My Couch Deserves Better: Let's be honest, my couch was getting tired of just me and Netflix. Now, it's a launch pad for adventures, a haven for weary travelers, and a witness to the kind of conversations that only happen in the wee hours of the morning.
