Hello, I'm Karla! From Oaxaca, Mexico.

Actualmente estoy planeando un viaje para enero de 2026 por la selva Lacandona, y después cruzar a Guatemala y continuar por el resto de Centro América.

Me gusta el 'slow traveling' y por eso estaré haciendo voluntariados en los lugares que visitaré. Espero conocer muchos viajeros en esta aventura.

You can also find me as a very active Member on different Female Travelers Facebook groups: Host a Sister; Solo Female Traveler, Girls Love Travel; Girl Gone International.

** Couchsurfing is not a dating app, hence I'm not interested in flirting or dates here ;) **

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I’m on Couchsurfing to connect with locals and travelers who share a passion for learning, cultural exchange, and authentic experiences. I believe Couchsurfing is a great way to meet others with the same desire to make friends and explore the world.

Intereses

• music

Música, películas y libros

Music: Timba is probably my favorite genre right now (have you heard of it?). Of course, I like salsa, bachata, and reggaeton; and I enjoy listening to anything with African influence.

I love Dua Lipa, Jon Batiste, St. Paul and the broken bones; and music from the 70s-80s: Earth Wind and Fire, Rod Stewart, Bon Jovi.

Books (or authors): When God was a woman; Gabriel García Márquez; Søren Kierkegaard; T. S. Elliot; Donna Haraway; Pablo Neruda.

Algo increíble que he hecho

Spending nine years organizing an international film festival. I got to connect with so many cultures and made amazing friends from different countries.

Let’s say that the film festival (and the bunch of festivals I got to attend representing mine) was my Couchsurfing, as it was a really fun way to connecting with people from many regions of the world. Also, I have been hosted and/or I've met up with so many of my festival attendees in different geographies 🌎

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

Lots of conversation as I can be extremely talkative from time to time. But sometimes I just prefer to listen to other people :)

I also enjoy photography, so if you’d like, I can take some nice photos of you or of any project you may have. Above all, I try to bring a positive attitude, curiosity, and an eagerness to learn from others.
