Hey! I'm Mexican & Spanish, born and raised in British Colombia, Canada. After finishing an arts program in Vancouver, I moved to a tiny village town called Järna outside of Stockholm, studying at the Youth Initative Program, focused on understanding of the current challenges humanity faces, mixing with entrepreneurial principles and skills to create initiatives and change. I lived in 1 house with 30 other people from 20+ nationalities and I LOVED IT. Now, I study Liberal Arts at University College Maastricht in the Netherlands!

Life values: Love, honesty, generosity, and spontaneity.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting friendly people and it's great to get to know people outside of your circle.
The best part of travelling is the culture

Interests

I love learning about people's traditions, cultures, homes, countries, food, dances....

I'm a photographer and a visual artist (painting, sketching), which is what I've been doing for the past few years. You can check out some projects here: http://trianasegoviaphotography.blogspot.ca .

I'm very much a creature of the mountains and the sea. I grew up hiking and swimming through all weathers and the place I feel most at home at is in nature.

I'm a Muay Thai kickboxer! I am not training so consistently now but I pop into gyms whenever I can... boxing and kickboxing are my passions! I've trained BBJ, MMA, and Capoeira too but those are pretty rusty. Can we sparr? ;)

I love music and I love dancing. Salsa? Bachata? Merengue? Reggaeton? Let's go!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbed a Monserrat, a mountain in Barcelona (climbing climbing not hiking) after only one time every rock climbing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm really interested in indigenous tribes and cultural anthropology. I'm currently working on a portraits project based on learning about people's cultural backgrounds.

In terms of sharing - I am willing to give whatever I have!! I can share my Mexican and Spanish culture, music, dance, traditions, knowledge (SALSAAAAA), Canadian culture, politics, philosophy, art....
