About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ready for the big time, is it ready for me?

ABOUT ME

Ahora estoy buscando gente que vive en D.F., Cuernavacas, o Oaxaca. Voy a Mexico en julio y quiero encontrar con gente. No necesito quedar en su casa, pero quiero unir y charlar y hang out.

I am 31 years old. I like to write stories, play music, and hike. I used couchsurfing from 2007-2009 to travel all over the U.S. with my cousin, Perla. I also hosted some people at my house in San Francisco. After a short hiatus, I am back on couchsurfing and eager to participate again.

I am a chill, friendly, creative, and thoughtful person. I like fun adventures, interesting and funny conversation, and solo time. I am respectful in people's spaces and I expect the same from others.

PHILOSOPHY

make your body into a structure you can live in
