About Me

I'm originally from Mexico but have been working for a year in London a a transport consultant.
I am very neat and enjoy cooking and trying new recipes with different ingredients.
I also enjoy talking about movies and discovering one I haven't seen.
I enjoy listening to music and going to concerts and festivals.
When I find the time I like to read, although it's very hard for me to focus, I have a very short attention span.
I am an amateur photographer and try to practice wherever I go with whomever wants to help me out.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people and hopefully make some friends around the world to improve my experiences while I'm living in Europe.
I am also a very firm believer that whatever you give to others is bound to come back to you in any form, there is always a balance. So, I am always willing to help people out, because one day I might need it as well.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My trip to Japan, all of it! 😁 I went with some of my best friends from childhood, it was amazing!

Teach, Learn, Share

-I can teach Spanish as I am a native speaker.
-I can provide tips for photography although I would much rather receive them as I am an amateur. But I am always willing to share and practice with others.
-I can teach cooking and share some of my recipes, although, again I am only an amateur who enjoys experimenting with food.
-I love singing and can play the ukulele so if you´re into that I´d definitely be open to share some music.
