CURRENT MISSION

I attend school for fashion design, I really enjoy traveling all for the love of fashion, I took the train to SF to see Guo Pei, the only Chinese woman to have been a guest of the Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture, breath-taking pieces. Christian Dior's exhibit in NYC, the Smithsonian in DC has amazing textiles and all sorts of historical garments, and costumes.

I LOVE to eat, open to trying everything except certain exotic meats.

Self-growth is an essential part of my being, I do it all, cry at therapy, cry at karaoke, cry from laughter, cry for the immense gratitude of always being in good hands. It's getting very scary traveling alone, so when I pray to God, when I thank the universe, when I give food at the altar, I can't help but feel blessed, and protected to have gotten to experience the world freely and safely.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had the pleasure of meeting up with other CS's, it's been so much fun. I've hosted a few, from Turkey, helped out a guy from Russia plan and execute an engagement, and stayed with Surfer in Mexico, thank you Rafa!!!

I love meeting new people and rather crash on your couch or hostel than to stay at a fancy hotel solo. I want to know your world, you'll know exactly where to eat!

Interests

I adore all aspects of creative arts. I love being near the beach (ALWAYS soothes my soul) and dancing, I have a bad case of tarantism . I also enjoy star gazing, long conversations, hiking, cooking, reading, music and art shows, wine tasting, bar hopping and getting lost...

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I have an eclectic ear, I grew up listening to salsa, cumbia, merengue, Spanish country music. In high school my peers showed me punk, ska, rap, R&B, techno, 80's and oldies. As I got older I started appreciating jazz, country, EDM, and international sounds.

Movies: Clockwork Orange, Kill Bill, 30 by 30, Y tu Mama Tambien, Like Water for Chocolate.

Books: Catcher in the Rye, The Great Gatsby, Eat, Pray Love.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to a Vipassana meditation retreat in Hawaii last Summer. 10 day vow of silence, deep meditation, finally experienced euphoria and true, self LOVE.

Teach, Learn, Share

Salsa, the food and dance, both are fun and spicy
