About Me

Hey y'all!

I'm a rather active, curious and friendly girl from Tijuana, Mexico.

I'm vegan, so as such, I have a deep respect for every form of living. So I don't judge nor try to impose my beliefs on anyone.

I'm outdoorsy, I practice yoga on a regular basis, also spent the last summer camping at the beach, mountains, swimming and am a newbie at surf. I love meeting new people and learning from them and their experiences; I have a deep appreciation for cultural differences.

I'm writting a couple of articles about my travels, one of them about traveling for more than a month with a small carryon. I write poetry, essays and showt stories.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As for many of us on CS, traveling is an important part of my life. But not in the touristic way, that's why I'm here. So I can meet locals and experience the real life of the places I get to visit.
