ABOUT ME

I tend to talk too much in certain social settings, but I also love to listen. Passionate about food, world events, people and social justice.

In addition to Couchsurfing throughout the continents, I love riding my enormous bicycle around Brooklyn on sunny days, baking quiches and cookies, reading news and blogs, listening to podcasts and spending inordinate amounts of time drinking coffee and tea with friends.

A veces hablo demasiado, pero también me gusta escuchar a las historias de otros.

Encima de viajar por el mundo, me encanta explorar Brooklyn en bici, cocinar y hacer galletas, leer las noticias y blogs, escuchar podcasts y pasar horas y horas hablando con amig@s con un cafecito.
