CURRENT MISSION

Travel and write about doing it.

ABOUT ME

I fancy words, bunnies, cats and old doors. I'm good at sarcasm and have a weird sense of humor.

PHILOSOPHY

All you need is love (tu turururu)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is a great way to meet locals and travelers. People I've met through CS are pretty much open minded and always willing to help, which are things I value a lot.

When I was living in Guanajuato, I met my roomate and some dear dear friends thanks to CS.

Interests

Spend most of my time writing (for a living or pleasure), reading, and planning where am I going next, at the moment (Feb 2015) I'm going to Merida and then in Septiember I might move 3 months to Washington DC.

I like to have conversations with interesting people, specially if they have stories to tell me. Love to travel!

I am currently working as an independent contractor for all things writing, editing, translating, media management and editorial consultant (escritoriopublico.net).
