Overview
About Me
"The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am then I can change". Carl Rogers.
I always find really hard to define myself because I think that if label myself on a certain way then I will have to keep being that way, and I want to be always open to changing and evolving.
But I do know some facts about me, things that are real, at least for now.
I love animals, I love movies, I love walks in nature with my cat Tango, I love taking photographs, specially nature and portraits, I love big and comfy beds, I love warm weather, I love deep conversations.
I like travelling, meeting new people, learning from other cultures, reading, singing, dancing, drawing, playing and being silly, and everything that makes me feel alive.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I'm on Couchsurfing because I think it's the best way to get to know people and experience a different culture. I am not interested in being a tourist, I prefer meeting local people, know their stories and experiences and share mine. I love that locals can share about beautiful places, and hidden little corners, that tourists don't know know about.
I had very good experiences here and I met really nice and kind people. I don't have a place of my own for now, but I would love to host travellers when I have it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
One amazing thing I've done is quitting my job and saying good bye to everyone to pursue my dream of living in Australia. Sometimes I still find myself thinking "Holy *$@#*! I am on the other side of the world!" (but in spanish), and I still can't believe it.
Another amazing thing I've done is after living in Australia for 8 years, quitting my job (again lol) and going travelling for 3 months. I'm pretty proud of quitting jobs that don't make me happy haha
Teach, Learn, Share
Learning is the most valued experience for me. I'm a very curious person and I hold a special place in my heart for people that teach me things. I remember all my teachers since kindergarten haha
I also love to share what I know about Non Violent Communication, Psychology, Photography, Singing, places I've visited, foods that I can cook, and everything I've been learning over the years.
