About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy life and make my dreams come true!

ABOUT ME

What I've heard from family, friends, and acquaintances, I may say I'm trustworthy, harworking, good listener, a little wacky specially when i feel confident with someone, tidy, curious, very weepy...can't help it and a good friend.

PHILOSOPHY

Main one is to treat others the way you want to be treated.
Love what you have and who you are.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

With the time, it gets vast and greater. I've had the chance to have just breakfast with a girl from India who visited my country several years ago, but still we keep in touch and share our things. Adding to that, I've had the chance to hang out with visitors from several countries and local people who are involved in CS.

I think that Couchsurfing is an exceptional way to meet and trust people all over the world.

Interests

My interests are wide, to list some would be: volleyball (my favorite sport), embroidery and all kinds of crafts, horror novels and movies, animals, specially cats (love them!) I've grown fond of post swaping too.
Because I've met various people from all over the world, I'd like to make at least one friend from each country. Sounds like a dream, but I have this life to work on that!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love horror movies and novels. Movie director's work that i'm interested the most are: George A. Romero, Sam Raymi, Quentin Tarantino and Zack Synder.
I used to enjoy reading novels, but now I'm more entertained with technology ... yeah, i wish i could go back to books again! Animal Farm, Great Expectations, Socavones de Angustia (Bolivian novel by Fernando Ramirez Velarde)are my favorite novels.
Lately I've been watching several Stephen Kings's novel-based movies. I admire this writer.
Music... I like listening all kinds of music, language is not a problem. However, I've been listening to Kpop a lot... I'd say only instead. So i'm a big fan of Big Bang, Super Junior and 2ne1.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One amazing thing that i'll never forget was to live in a farm in the highlands of Bolivia without television and internet. The scenery is unique, kind of melancholic so ideal to be with someone you love.

Spend the day with a total stranger who I had just met during breakfast. He seemed a decent guy so I asked if I could go with him wherever he was going. We did a lot of walking that day and shared our life stories. I guess that when you travel alone you have more chances to meet and open to people.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach anyone to embroider in different styles, crochet, make jewelry with wire and semi-precious stones, english and spanish of course :), cook Bolivian food (it's kind of spicy)
I would like to learn to play any musical instrument and other languages.
I'd be glad to tell people about the folk tales and urban legends of my country. The beliefs in my family and culture, which i learned from my granny and mom.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I don't have my own place so unfortunately I can't offer anything but my guidance and time.
