About Me

She is a 5 ft. girl, so don't worry about space, she'll fit anywhere =) and she's cute.

- I moved to Germany by the end of 2017 to live with my Traummann, so I brought my dog with me and we are in the process of building a home in this lovely city despite the rain and the lack of sun :P Besides studying my masters I like to do sports, meet up with friends, dance and play with my dog. I started traveling when I was 15, being on the road makes me really happy, meeting new people and getting involved in others' cultures.

I enjoy watching football, specially at the stadium (one of the things I miss about México), going to concerts and being outdoors -actually just laying watching series is also a great idea-, actually I'm more like a city girl (who now moved to a small town :P), but I have got to the top of a couple mountains and one volcano (quite a struggle).. and my fantasy job would be to appear in music videos. Besides Social Work, I'm studying my Masters on Migration And International Relationshipgoals and I'm also a Kundalini Yoga instructor.

We're messy but trying hard to keep the house in order. I also love to host parties or reunions at my place, play games, cook, read and watch movies.

I would love to show newcomers my new city Osnabrooklyn, so if you need a couch to crash and have great stories to tell you will be more than willkomen.

PHILOSOPHY

No hay nostalgia peor que añorar lo que nunca jamás sucedió.

I'm not religious, I believe in the power of breakfast. 🍳

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I started surfing couches when I was traveling with a friend in Europe. Afterwards I started hosting people at my place in Guadalajara, and also in Germany. I still use CS once in a while when traveling.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Started traveling alone when I was 15 and just never stopped.

Visiting Meteora, Machu Picchu, Iguaçu Falls, Stonehenge.

A roadtrip through Southamerica for 10 months.. pretty challenging but amazing.🚘

A breathtaking night at Cotopaxi National Park!

And going to the top of Rumiñahui volcano on the same day despite my fear of heights.

Going to the Worldcup in Brazil on 2014 :D

Auslandssemester in Germany <3

Volunteering with immigrants

I gave a workshop for the prevention of violence in the psychiatric ward of a penitentiary near my city.

Moving to another continent

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to hang around at the kitchen with my surfers.. teach, learn & share.. all in one dish.
A movie, pizza & beer is also a nice combo ;)
