I love to travel and make friends around the world.
I am an Industrial Engineer working full time as a planner and an International Table Tennis Referee as a hobby.
I go as a Referee to tournaments all around the world. I have been in mayor tournaments like the 2013 World Championship in Paris and the 2014 Youth Olympic Games in Nanjing, China and 2015 Women´s World Cup in Sendai, Japan and 2016 Rio Olympic Games! I also teach courses to develop Umpires and Referees.
I met my husband thru CS and now we have a baby. My husband is from Pakistan and now we live in Costa Rica. Right now we can not travel as much as we were used to but we still host a lot.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Since I was little we used to receive a lot of people at my parents house. This helped me to know other cultures and also to improve my english.
Now that I am older and have travel a lot because of the Table Tennis, I have met a lot of people all around the world, and I have received some of them at my house.
Most of the people I know in Table Tennis when they go to a tournament, they only get to know the airport, the hotel and the venue, but I don´t like this. That´s why most of the time after the tournaments I like to stay for a few days to know a little bit more about the city, meet some people, learn about the culture and taste different food. Couchsurfing is a great way of doing all this things I like.
