ABOUT ME

I was born 5 decades ago and counting, I am the first of 4 kids. I have one sister and two brothers. I have lived in Puebla and Mexico City. I got married recently (June 2022) and I am thrilled to live this new stage in life, I have no kids (nor my husband), but we live with two beautiful, fun cats: Benito and Nina. I love music (I just can't work without it!) and taking pictures of everything I like... people, dogs, heavy machinery, graffiti... you name it!

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in respect others, by respecting yourself first. I believe in honesty, friendship, open minds, open talks, open hearty laughter. I believe in expressing your emotions, not being afraid of them. I believe we came to this earth to be happy, no matter how hard our life has been, we need to learn how to BE and FEEL happy. Adding to all this, I also believe in respecting animals and treating them with dignity and care...

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have enjoyed a lot being a host and receiving couch surfers!! Eventually, I plan to do some couch surfing myself. I love learning from other cultures and ways of living. When I was a teenager I had a lot of pen pals (yes, that long ago, when we actually used paper and pen to communicate) and enjoyed learning from my friends in far away places.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Well, yes, I have "crashed" somebody else's couch, mostly friends and friends of friends. It has been positive and I have always been grateful to all those who were my hosts. I stayed in Paris, London, Milan, Lahti and Kuopio (in Finland) and enjoyed every bit. I have also hosted friends from my own country in my couch (a very comfortable fouton!).

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

I have done snorkeling at the amazing Galapagos, being brushed by hundreds of colorful fishes, iguanas and turtles! I have felt the power of water at the Iguazu and at the Niagara Falls. I have enjoyed the indescribable beauty of the Chilean Patagonia at Torres del Paine. I have enjoyed a great espresso at Paris and a wonderful "gelato" (ice cream) at Milan. OH! And admired the magnificent beauty of Machu Picchu in a sunny, beautiful day!

Lehren, lernen, teilen
