Hi! My name is Xochilt. It means Flower in Náhuatl, an ancient language and tribe located in what we know as Mesoamerica. I'm an architect and urban artist who loves to connect with people and discover new places. In my spare time I work in human rights activism and projects related to art.

I'm currently working as a remote estimator for a construction company based in the US and I want to take advantage of the possibility that I have to work basically from anywhere to share my passions with others and learn about them.

I enjoy long walks, rainy days, karaoke nights and readings in the Apoyo lagoon -my favorite place on earth-.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm excited about the idea of ​​meeting people and creating connections through this platform.
