Hello! I am an artsy, globetrottery, travel loving human. I have been travelling pretty much since I was born and have grown up in Africa, South America and Europe.
I have Mexican nationality and speak English, Spanish and French. I am able to understand Italian and Portuguese.
I am up for always trying new things and absorbing new cultures. I consider myself sociable, hard working and just a pretty open person. Life is awesome and there is so much to see and do!
I have worked in Communications for a major PR company, as a free-lance translator, as a volunteer in the surf coast of Mexico doing art projects and helping out at the inner workings of an amazing hos, waitressing in the Caribbean and working as a cashier, I have worked in migration issues. I am definiy up for a range of tasks and learning new skills as well as applying my own.
I hold a Bachelors in International Relations and a Masters in Disaster (someone had fun coming up with that name J) from the University of Copenhagen School of Health. I have a valid work permit to work in Denmark. Feel free to ask me any questions!

About Me
My hobbies include painting, travelling, sports, cooking, reading and just lifing. One of my favorite authors is Chuck Plahniuk, I like all types of music from reggae to rock to classical music, I like sketching people and places I see and just creating murals once in a while. Watching movies is also something I enjoy doing very much, some of my favorites include; American Beauty, Shawshank Redemption and Inception. I like to try out new recipes from different parts of the world and have fun baking. Sunshine and nature make me happy. Good vibes and a positive attitude is important 🙂
