About Me

I’m a 25 year old easy going Mexican currently working as a medical interpreter for a hospital from the comfort of my apartment.
I’m studying French as a second language because why not
I love to travel and meet new fun and interesting people.
I like art, cooking and photography and love books and movies.
I consider myself charismatic, smart, energetic, sometimes spontaneous, sometimes quiet, and reserve but always with an unquenchable thirst for knowledge.

I enjoy watching TV series like Friends and Grey’s Anatomy
Hugsy is my favorite
(mention this when applying)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I got sick of the regular tourist routine, checking into a hotel and going to all the tourist trap places. A friend told me about the app and the benefits from getting to know amazing people. Some of my best friends now are from CS.

I’d love to meet new people, new cultures, ways of thinking and increase my ability and confidence to speak more languages.

I want to experience visiting a city like a local, do what locals do, commute like locals, etc.

I believe it's an amazing project to open your door to a total stranger, share your home and time, it takes a lot to trust someone you’ve never met.

One of my favorite quote is from Mark Twain -"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness"-. And I firmly believe journeys can be one of the best thing to do with your life.
