Hey! I’m 27 and from Mexico. I have a degree in Chemistry, but after finishing university, I decided to take a gap year… and it turned into four! Since then, I’ve been working in hospitality and doing some farm work while traveling.

I love exploring new places and really getting into the local culture. Over the past few years, I’ve lived in different countries, including nine months on an estancia in Patagonia, Argentina, where I experienced gaucho culture and farm life. I also lived in New Zealand, traveled the country in a van, and worked harvesting fruit.

Soon, I plan to go back to New Zealand, but first I want to travel around Brazil for a while.

I’m easygoing and open-minded, a bit quiet at first but always up for good conversations. I enjoy hiking, meeting new people, sharing stories, and learning languages—I’d really love to pick up some Portuguese!

I’m also passionate about science, and while I haven’t yet found a way to blend it with my current lifestyle, it’s still a big part of who I am.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe the best way to experience a place is through the people who live there. I love cultural exchange, sharing meals or music, and just getting to know locals and fellow travelers.
