In 2014 I studied abroad in Madrid and had one of the best experiences of my life. I traveled by myself, with other erasmus students and with people I met on the internet. One of the girls I met through an international Facebook group introduced me to Couchsurfing, so we traveled all around Europe and were hosted by great people. We once stayed with a Belgian family and it was so shocking to see how similar their family dynamic was to mine (Mexican) and it made me realize how it IS a small world after all : ) also made me want to repeat this experience forever! As cliche as it may sound I love meeting new people and I love making new friends from all over the world. Some of my best friends I have met online and I just love the overall experience.

I like to listen to sweet things like The Smiths, Fiona Apple, Belle & Sebastian, Jens Lekman, The bird and the bee, Sufjan Stevens etc. My favorite film director is Jean-Luc Godard and I love french films and french new wave in general. I also like japanese animation and films by Xavier Dolan and Wes Anderson. Though I do have a sweet spot for ensemble romantic movies like Love Actually (my all time favorite) I love Banana Yoshimoto because her books are a bit sad but also short and sweet. My favorite book of all time is The Catcher in the Rye because I will never stop being an angsty teenager on the inside. I also love everything by Alain de Botton and I think he is one of the greatest contemporary 'philosophers'.
