Hi there! My name is Marcela. I am half Cuban, half Japanese born and raised in Mexico City. I am currently living in Havana.
I am a Facial Yoga teacher and I am developing my own company in Cuba.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am mostly an introvert, I respect personal space. But I have extrovert outbursts when I meet passionate and interesting people and I can spend hours talking and sharing. I am really confortable with one on one interaction as I think it allows a different, more meaningful kind of conection. It does not matter if you are different, on the contrary. There is a lot more to learn from someone that is different.
