About Me


ABOUT ME
Born in Mexico City, I moved to Monterrey, Mexico at 6 years of age, and lived there for 19 years. I've also lived in Leeds, England for a year and a half. Now I've moved back to Mexico City.

I'm a graphic designer and art enthusiast. I enjoy walking around cities, looking for and finding street art, underground art or music venues, and interesting-looking shops and cafés. As much as I enjoy the urban life, I also like being outside surrounded by nature in mountains, fields, jungles, lakes, rivers, or the desert.

I like trying out different food, as long as it's vegetarian (dairy and eggs are ok).

There are still a lot of places I want to go to, things I want to see, and experiences I want to have. However, I am young, energetic, and with the aim to never grow old (just wise), and always keep flying!


PHILOSOPHY
Every experience is an opportunity to learn something new.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

• Sleeping in a cave in the middle of the desert in Petra, with no light around us except a fire, and only the stars above to keep watch.

• Seeing and photographing grey whales in Baja California was a magical experience. Swimming with seals in the ocean was lots of fun too!

• Talking to a stranger in California, and ending up having a lengthy conversation about various topics; exchanging views on life and pieces of advice.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a little bit of everything, and much about nothing.

I love art museums and can spend big amounts of time inside one, commenting with whoever is interested. I can also have lengthy conversations about art, design, and innovation, preferably with a mug of good coffee, and cake if possible.

Obviously travelling together is always a learning experience for both sides, especially if it involves photography as well.

I would love to learn more about cooking, and interesting food combinations.

I deeply enjoy conversations about differences and similarities between countries and cultures, so I would love to hear what you have to say about where you've been, and in exchange I can teach you a bit about Mexico or the places I have travelled to... and even teach you some Spanish!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook, contribute to keeping the house clean and organised, and tell you about my country and my travelling experience. I can also teach you some Spanish.
