About Me

Anti-routine person who wants to keep out multitasking (currently working on that 🙈). Passionate for learning (still learning how to breath! 😮‍💨)/having new experiences/meeting new places and people. Food lover. Pro-real food 👩🏻‍🌾. Science geek. Fitness enthusiast. Human friendly/pet friendly. Super-skilled for the best findings 🤟🏽 (ok this sounds too narcissistic but had to recognize that this applies for many things, including nice people :) and tacos! 🌮 + nice thrifts and stuff as a hobby). Loves mezcalitas, have you ever tried them before? 😁

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Started as a need for a couch and eventually found it as a good way to try to help travelers to get a memorable experience when visiting Tijuana so I decided to offer my skills (hope you read the previous section 👾) to show around nice spots in the city.
Not trying to get a verified account (Def not a fan of unnecessary fees). I have been here since 2013 (you can see my host reviews, old btw, cause I broke up with CS for a while. Got mad when I forgot the password but here I am). Anyway… I was not totally fluent in English those days so you might notice a few non-sense here and there (hope not anymore? At least with the language lol). Currently I’m just interested in being fluent in el lenguaje universal, which is empathy and unconditional love. I guess you don’t even need translation for that?

Music, Movies, and Books

This is the most difficult part like when I have to choose between my favorite dessert…

For music it kinda depends. Def my favorite band is the strokes but washed out has my bloody little heart too!

For books H. Murakami and J. Krishnamurti are my favorite authors. Couldn’t choose one book in particular so, sorry for that CS, please don’t get mad again.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I thought last section was the most difficult. But I was wrong. This is!

It may be surviving from a flight where the engine got broke? Because also, I got free tickets for another one. I guess it was a sign that I must live to travel 🤷🏻‍♀️.

Teach, Learn, Share

Absolutely, pretty please. Tell me more.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Tacos (like the real ones!). Or ceviche (which is my fav food, btw) The original Caesar salad? (Did you know that it was born in TJ?). A margarita? (Of course, they’re from Baja, too. But at this point you must know I prefer mezcalitas). Or probably a good coffee if you don’t drink? Even real food from my organic store? (Free samples + Shipping available!)

Ok… you know? Nothing of the above is more valuable than time. So a good chat while trying to show around the city it’s more than enough for this human-like soul.
