About Me

I'm a very easy going and cheerful 31 years old gal. I recently moved to Morelia, but I work in Pátzcuaro on the weekdays (which is also a lovely town to visit).

I'm trapped at work most of the time, but I have usually the weekends off to hang out.

If you're in town looking for different people to meet, just give a shout! ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I was living in Vancouver in 2010 I started being part of the CS community. Since then I've met great people and travelled to several places thanks to this network.

I love traveling anytime I can. I want to meet people to make weekend trips to nearby places around the city or just to hangout, go downtown, cultural events, the movies or with some luck, dancing! ;)

Interests

Through arts, environmental education, documentary film making and communication, I want to help in accelerating the paradigm shift to develop a more sustainable, ethical, just and resilient world and communities to live in.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like World, Folk, Latin and Indie music to listen. Also love Cumbia, Salsa, Ska, Rock and roll and Funk to dance... I really, really love dancing!

I love documentary films, specially about social and environmental issues.

I like to read novels, but lately I haven't had the time.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Being at the Rocky Mountains, Iguazú Falls, traveling throughout Argentina, studying abroad in Canada, being arrested for participating in the World Naked Bike Ride, making a documentary... etc.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm very good at being a tourist guide. I can tell you lots about Mexico, its culture and geography, places to go, food to try, alternative beautiful spots nearby and also about cheap and safe ways to travel.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am able to host but it will depend on my work schedule. I'd also love to hang out in and outside the city. I can help out with advice for your trip planning as well.
