My name is Renata and I am 26 years old. I was born and raised in Mexico although I’m half brazilian. I know I don’t have any reviews because I just found out about this app but I am willing to earn good reviews on the 3 months to come during my trip. I am currently learning how to play bass guitar. I own a ceramics business in which I design, sculpt, paint and sell. I used to be a painter but not anymore, as sculpture is my new passion, also swimming in the sea but as I live away from the sea there’s not too much opportunity to do so. I want to see Europe, my goal is to visit 40 cities in 3 months!! In exchange for letting me stay with you, I have a beautiful big house in Cuernavaca, Morelos in which I will start hosting in April, I have a very free schedule so I can show you around and even teach you ceramics or painting, although the process of each piece takes around week and a half before it’s finished. I have 3 friendly dogs, I live with my brother and father who are awesome. I don’t want to stay in a hotel because meeting people gets difficult that way and I am very looking forward to making new friends and learning from them!

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

Me and my cousin want to see the world while we are young and energetic, we are both 26 and best friends. I am an artisan and Oriana is a freelance cinematography producer. I will get to London on the 11th and the gets there on the 13th and from there, our goal is to visit 40 European cities in 3 months so we have very limited time for each city. We are both very neat and respectful of other people's space and rules. Also we are fun to hang out with!

Algo increíble que he hecho

I proved everyone wrong! I finished art school and opened my own business after struggling with bad grades my whole life. No one thought I was ever going to be independent, they called me “wasted talent” but I pulled through and made my parents proud.

I’ve made some decent art, you can check out my work at facebook, search for: “Arte de Renata Rocha Soto” or my ceramics business called “Cutiepipes” but for that one I recommend instagram as there is much more content.

My family used to breed British Bulldogs for shows and I raised 2 world champions!

I met Aragorn and he gave me an autograph and a little Gondor tree drawing.

I left it all behind (for a while) to see 30 European cities in 3 months. Why? Because it’s now or never!

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I would love to improve my french and italian as they are very basic, if you have a friend who plays bass, I would love to meet him/her because I think they’re the best. I can teach you funny mexican slang, drawing lessons and sculpture lessons if we can get some clay.
I have good stories about life and I want to invite you back to my beautiful large house (with a pool) in the city with the best weather in the world!

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

Anything I can do to help around, I brought mexican candies and some ceramic pieces I’ve made if you’re interested.
I will take you to dinner if you have time!
I am best at listening than talking and can discuss many subjects except for economics and politics which I know not much about but actually interests me.
If you invest your time in me you will find a friend and confident.
