I am an ordinary woman with an extraordinary appetite for living, loving, traveling, adventuring, learning, and meeting new cultures. My philosophy is: “a day without laughter is a day wasted”.

I'm really interested in different cultures, I love experiencing people's lifestyles. That's one of my life's goals. One of the reasons why I joined CouchSurfing was to experience with locals, and their lives. I'm a music lover, a Radio DJ and a firm believer in LIFE, I choose to enjoy every minute, and try to maintain a positive attitude. Yes, sometimes “sh*t happens” and I don’t have a good day but I figure if I at least tried to have fun and be happy.
Other things about me are that I am a very social person. I love reading and enjoying stretching myself intellectually and physically, playing soccer. I am usually challenged by the untried and volunteering, especially with children.
I'm currently working at a bank, nothing fun but I laugh enough to keep up with routine. And drink more wine.

Soy una amante de la música y la diversión, pero también puedo ser muy tranquila por periodos en los que medito. Tengo un interés interno y espiritual por la meditación. Mis hobbies generalmente son hacer algo nuevo y/o diferente. Conocer gente nueva, y tener interesantes conversaciones.
Me apasiona la lectura, y el arte. También disfruto mucho jugar futbol y cosas simples, como una siesta en la playa, viajar, ser confidente de mis amigas, salir. Tengo una obsesión por ser productiva, ir a museos, reirme incontrolablemente, las flores frescas, probar diferentes tipos de té, besar, abrazar, quedarme despierta para ver el amanecer en la playa, despertarme antes de que suene mi despertador. Me gusta mucho la diversidad, los animales, y la música antigua.

PHILOSOPHY

"A day without laughter is a day wasted".
"You look nicer when you smile".
"Let life be like music".

Me atraían y todavia me atraen las personas que vulneran las normas, las que viven al límite, las que aceptan el riesgo como parte natural de la vida, las que se lo juegan todo a una carta -incluso en el sentido metafórico de la expresión-, aquellas personas que, si lo pierden todo, no expresan ni una palabra de lamento, ni una queja, conscientes quizás de que la derrota es una motivación para recuperarse y el éxito un permiso para seguir recorriendo un angosto sendero flanqueado unicamente por enormes acantilados, en el que se han acostumbrado a vivir porque todo lo demás, lo que interesa a la mayoría, les aburre, les agobia hasta el extremo de anular su personalidad.

The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes 'Awww!
