Overview
About Me
I'm a 57 years old woman that loves traveling, but since I had a daughter I stopped traveling. Now that she is a woman, I want to return to my traveling passion. I'm a painter, I love art, specially painting, music and literature. I live in a small city called Aguascalientes, in the center of my country, Mexico.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I want to travel to other countries and most specially meet people from those places so I can learn about them and their culture. I LOVE cooking for other people and one of the things I'd like to share is cooking Mexican dishes and sharing the taste and flavors of my country.
