    I am currently

    Activities i am interested in:

    I Like being outdoors, walking, hiking, exploring and adventures, reading, helping and learning from others, sharing experiences and creating memories, meeting and making new friends.

  • Description

    I love learning and people! What better way then to combine my desire for travel and also meet great people to share experiences of a lifetime with.
    I've been "traveling" since about 26 in one way or another. Recently, meaning November of 2022, after 2 years of work, I packed my bags to pursued my love of travel, adventure, discovery!

    Currently I have travelled throughout many places in the United States and Mexico which includes:
    - USA ; 20 states and 200-300 cities,
    - Mexico; 7 states and 10 cities

    I am inspired by personal experiences, stories from volunteering and working with the unhoused neighbors, engaging in daily street outreach, providing warm meals, clothes, hygiene and blankets and guiding them to resources they need. I want to help people, because I enjoy it and I know from experience what it’s like to have nothing, no support network and to struggle to be successful!
    I’ve grown to be more simple living, appreciative for what I have, to always pay it forward with love, kindness and compassion!

    As a child i was always curious and created big adventures in my small backyard. I began to grow and would go on long bike routes and hike around my town, exploring parks, rivers and small hills near and far. in my twenties i travelled across the US via bus stopping and exploring where my feet landed for a few days before heading off. My love for traveling was strengthen by the amazing people from everywhere i interacted with in those communities.

    ...

    ¡Me encanta aprender y la gente! Qué mejor manera entonces de combinar mis ganas de viajar y también conocer gente genial con quien compartir experiencias de mi vida.
    Llevo "viajando" desde los 26 aproximadamente de una forma u otra. Recientemente, es decir, noviembre de 2022, después de 2 años de trabajo, ¡hice las maletas para dedicarme a mi amor por los viajes, la aventura y el descubrimiento!

    Actualmente he viajado por muchos lugares de Estados Unidos y México que incluyen:
    - EE.UU ; 20 estados y 200-300 ciudades,
    - México; 7 estados y 10 ciudades

    Mis experiencias de voluntariado y trabajo en ayudar amigos sin casa, proporcionándoles comidas calientes, ropa, artículos de higiene y mantas y guiándolos hacia los recursos que necesitan. Quiero ayudar a la gente porque lo disfruto y sé por experiencia lo que es no tener nada, ninguna red de apoyo y luchar para tener éxito.
    He llegado a vivir de manera más sencilla, agradezco lo que tengo y siempre lo devuelvo con amor, bondad y compasión!

    Cuando era niña siempre tuve curiosidad y creaba grandes aventuras en mi pequeño patio trasero. Comencé a crecer y hacía largas rutas en bicicleta y caminaba por mi pueblo, explorando parques, ríos y pequeños cerros cercanos y lejanos. Cuando tenía veintitantos, viajé por los EE. UU. en autobús, deteniéndome y explorando dónde aterrizaban mis pies durante unos días antes de partir. Mi amor por viajar se vio fortalecido por las personas increíbles de todos los lugares con los que interactué en esas comunidades.
