I was born in Ecuador and grew up in Denver, Colorado, USA. In 2014 it all began, I lived in Spain with my best friend and got to start traveling. Ever since that moment, I haven't been able to stop! Traveling opens the mind to new realities, introducing you to wonderful people and giving you personal growth. I consider myself to be a social, talkative, open-minded, friendly and laid-back person. I enjoy meeting people who are always open and interesting- from all different cultures and backgrounds.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I'm couchsurfing because I love meeting people on the from all over the world and getting to share our experiences. After my first CS experiences I wouldn't want to travel any other way. I am perfectly aware of the fact that the travels are not only the places you see, but the special people you meet along the way. I couldn't host people for the last 2 years. Unfortunately, I was no longer living on my own in Madrid. I was living with my grandparents who weren't comfortable with the CS idea. Now, I live with my boyfriend and we are both happy to host people in our home :)
Music, Movies, and Books
I really enjoy listening to music. When I'm home I can listen from anything to indie, blues, bossa nova, rock, salsa, soul or funk! When I go out I love to dance salsa- dance in general- going to a jam or rock concert. Listening to live music is a personal favorite. To list a few...Radiohead, The Smiths, Metronomy, Tame Impala, The XX, D'Angelo, Alabama Shakes, Joao Gilberto, Quantic, Cerati, Hector Lavoe and there's way too many!! Books: 1984- Orwell, Farenheit 411, The Picture of Dorian Gray and The Importance of Being Earnest- Oscar Wilde, Nickel and Dimed- Barbara Ehrenreich, Ines y la Alegría- Almudena Grandes, Un mundo arriba de patas al revés- Galeano Movies: Tarantino Films, Wes Anderson films,
One Amazing Thing I've Done
-Rode a hot air ballon in Cappadocia, Turkey. When I was up at the top looking at the sunrise, the balloons and emotion around me, I seriously felt as if I were in a dream. -Snorkel in Galapagos- It is honestly one of the most amazing places in this world.

What I Can Share With Hosts
A smile, talks, walks, conversation and/or company. :)
My Interests
I can enjoy myself quite easily. I like to try and see the beauty in the simple things. Of course, I love to travel. Besides that, sightsee, have good talk, listen to stories, listen to music, read, go to concerts, dance, do yoga, go for a walk, eat, watch movies, go out, stay in and make the most of my time. ;) Recently, I've taken quite an interest in photography! I'm trying to learn more and document my trips as I go.
