About Me

Hello humans!

I am a fun Aquarius ♒. Also, an extroverted pescetarian who is in love with swimming and cinema. Spontaneous, happy, enthusiastic (sometimes into deep conversations/low-key radical ideas to change the world).

I am a professional tour guide, so you'll find me at museums and archaeological sites (this job started with me taking as many hosts as I could to Teotiwakan and evolved into me giving real tours in Teoti, lol)
Sometimes I watch and write about movies too.

I enjoy time with my family and tend to be very exaggerated about -everything- in life (Moon in Sagittarius ♐). I'm always asking myself a lot of questions and never hesitate to do the same with those who surround me. I try to learn good stuff and give back to Earth everything I can. I am very political and have radical ideas, but don't worry, I won't start a revolulu, my ideas are, sadly, too idealistic as well.

Warning ⚠️:
I'm an old-schooled couchsurfer, so I take it very seriously when I host/travel with people.
Very much into astrology (but I won't annoy you if you don't like that topic, LOL. My Gemini rising will always behave)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Wonderful way to meet locals and their culture, make new friends and have a great time.

Interests

There is nothing I don't find interesting since I'm a curious person!
I am into astrology as a concept that humans made long ago while watching the stars, so therefore as a way of understanding societies. Friendship comes from understanding human languages, and love is a concept that involves everything we do. I, personally, like dancing because it connects people, film, because it portrays people, history because it keeps track of people... you know where I'm going with all this... curiosity is my motto and, if you do not get interested about life, you do not live.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like to listen to female singers mostly or the so-called Global Music.
I watch mostly documentaries and films from film festivals. After every edition of a film fest, I have a new favorite director or national cinema that I didn't know before.
I try to read female authors mostly to understand them, and understand me. My favorite male writer is the Hungarian Sándor Márai.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

scubadiving :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy the city and love to share its secrets with travelers.
I can try to teach you one or two salsa steps, or some Italian, English or Spanish Lessons

What I Can Share with Hosts

A different perspective about life through astrology. I'm a true believer.
Fun moments, yoga practise or whatever else. I'm very easygoing.
