Overview
About Me
I’m a born and raised TJ girl who loves to travel and meet fun, kind, friendly people, I consider myself friendly and easy going and a very fast speaker…
I love outdoorsy activities, wholesome interactions, dancing and dinner parties. (actually i like any kind of activity, like billiards, karaoke, bowling, board games, sports and having a drink at a pub as long as it is fun and with friends)
I really prefer to host like minded individuals who come here to primarily enjoy the culture,
I also only host and hang out with people who give back to the community. (active hosts or people who have recently hosted) this isn’t tinder nor a hotel for you to go to your visa / dentist appointment.
if this is not you, i am sorry i won’t accept your request (unless your profile really resonates with)
I have two dogs (Alfredo & Maia) 🐕
and two roomies. (my roomies are not on couchsurfing but they are friendly and accepting of cs friends)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I am in couchsurfing because before 2013 I couldn’t afford to travel anywhere, but I really wanted to see the world, badly!
I googled how to travel without traveling and the first thing i saw was the CS website, I read their mission and vision and it felt like, it resonated so much with me… so I created my profile and started hosting right away, I got to travel thru every single person i’ve hosted. Over the years I’ve had my share of bad experiences, there are some shitty individuals out there, but the good experiences have always outweighed the bad ones, so, I am still here, I was for a brief moment an ambassador, I was nominated and eligible, I saw it as an opportunity to give back to the community and I was very interested in the safety within the platform specifically, in the end, there was not a lot I was allowed to do, some people get power crazed, anyway I am not longer a couchsurfing ambassador, but i am definitely a happy representative of my culture and city, and i am still a very active member of the Tijuana community, i am still looking out for my fellow surfers and hosts, I am happy to keep on hosting and every now and then I organize events, meet ups thru hang outs and I also attend as many events as possible, there are amazing members out there and I love getting to know them ♥️

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
i’m an autodidact who learnt english in two months and i am still quite confused as to how it happened, i learnt a bunch of other skills on my own, like swimming and riding a bike, it’s dorky, but i’m proud, yay me! 😅
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach you some spanish,
we can share stories and cook together,
we can plan a short road trip and bring friends along :)
I don’t have much, but that 👆🏼 i can offer :)
a fun time !
What I Can Share with Hosts
When I stay at a CSs place I am a respectful and clean guest, I read the room and socialize if they are down to, I am an independent c-surfer so if my host can’t take me places (join me in my adventures) I usually go on my own and try to reach out to local couchsurfers when possible.
