About me

I have lived many experiences and lived in many different settings so one of my main characteristics is that I adapt and learn any where I go. I like to be creative with what is available. i truly believe in the need for us to learn to live differently, with what Nature offers us and that we must understand that the human race is only part of an entire Universe, not the master or owner of it.
I am very organized and like to do things properly. I like working with and learning from other people and I like to share what I know. I am very playful, always seeking the bright side of situations. I enjoy having a responsability. Chaos, disorganized places and organizations get me upset; I enjoy inmensely quiet places and love to just observe the way Nature works. I enjoy a good conversation, a good book or just my solitude. I do not like to be in closed dark spaces. I do not like commercial television and all it represents. I love very hot weather amd water.

Preferred location

I will represent Mexico in the Storytelling Festival in Quito, it is called Mishki Shimi 2019, and will take place from the 22nd to the 27th. Since they are flying me to Quito I would like to get to know the country befor the festival. I have come to the conclusion through my travels that the best way to get to know a place and a culture is by sharing with the people and staying in a few places. I am more interested in the people of a country than saying monuments. I am very interested in indigenous cultures, I have worked with indigenous women for several years, and alternative ways of farming and caring for the environment. I am now living in a small town in Mexico trying to find a better way of living so I am very interested in learning from collective models who are seaking to build self sustainable projects.

Skills

I am a storyteller and musician and I am the head of a nonprofit association in Mexico. I am use to working in communities in extreme conditions; I develop art related projects to help build healthy communities. I have taugh storytelling and music workshops in many settings, from University classrooms to children in shantytowns I speak Spanish, English and French fluently. Last summer I was a tourist guide in a park in New York City, and that worked out very well.
I am very organized and accomplished; I like to learn just about everything. I am very good at establishing relationships with people. i write well and am a great cook. I am very interested in farming and gardening.
