Currently living in Japan and Guatemala, traveling and working at the same time.
I was a backpacker back in 2011, studied Spanish for 3 months.... now running an online Spanish school from Guatemala offering quality classes collaborating with our loving Guatemalan professional Spanish teachers!

I love to travel, listening to other people's story, discover new things, play music, and be outdoors.
Since I stepped into the online education industry, I am also now very interested in online-education, personal empowerment/development.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I just love the concept of this project. Meeting new people and listening to their story is always fascinating and gives me deeper understanding of human.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Started to run an online Spanish school (Non-profit) to create more job opportunities for the people in Guatemala.
I started this project to change the working environment in the Spanish school industry in Guatemala so that the teachers can have more stable income. Starting with 5 teachers, our project is slowly but growing, counting more than 40 teachers now =)
