Overview
About Me
I’m a Mexican girl enjoying my last couple of days in the DMV.
I worked as a nanny in NY, PA and MD for the last two years.
Im into movies, music, museums, anything with chocolate, endless walks and feminism.
Most likely the ony thing I have to offer are the crazy stories I lived in America.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Because I think it's the most exciting way to get to know people and places. I've bumped into a lot of nice people whom, even if they didn't have the chance to host me, were always giving tips to travel the city, the places to eat, how to move cheap.
Couchsurfing is the place where random strangers become friends without any other intention than sharing experiences.
