Personal Description

MY PROFILE IS IN BOTH LANGUAGES, SPANISH AND ENGLISH. TO SEE IT IN ENGLISH JUST READ BELOW SPANISH.

ESPAÑOL:

Puedes saber mas sobre mi en mi "perfil" de Hi5, tambien puedes ver fotos de mis viajes y demas:
http://yorkhdez.hi5.com

Mis pasiones: Cine, Viajar y la cultura Pre-Hispanica.

Lo mejor que puedes hacer en la vida es soñar y luchar por lograr esos sueños. Lo importante es disfrutar la vida al maximo, cada persona es diferente y cada quien tiene su manera de disfrutar su vida.

Me fascina viajar porque conoces a mucha gente completamente distinta. Cada persona nueva que conozco me da nuevas ideas para mi siguiente cortometraje, o porque no, mi proximo largometraje.

Me gusta ayudar a la gente que lo necesita, no con dinero, pues no soy rico, pero si de cualquier otra manera.

Lo mas importante en la vida es la amistad, antes que el amor...

El unico Dios que existe, eres TU!!!!

Humildad y Lealtad son mis objetivos aunque no siempre es facil. Pero es excelente cuando lo logras...

Me fascina la musica, Rock y Alternativo son mis favoritas.

Me gusta leer sobre historia o cualquier otra cosa que me enseñe algo.

Cada momento y cada persona me enseñan algo importante en la vida.

Ya estoy planeando mi siguiente gran viaje a Centro y Sudamerica por carro, lo cual estoy bastante emocionado!!!

"Yo solo se, que no se nada"
-SOCRATES.

ENGLISH:

You can check more about me in my Hi5 profile and you can see more pictures of my trips there as well: yorkhdez.hi5.com

My passions: Films, Travel and Pre-hispanic culture (azteca, maya, etc).

The best thing you can do in life is dreaming and enjoying the life. Any person is diferent and any person has it´s own way to enjoy life.

I like to travel to know diferent kind of people, every single person I know gives me ideas for my next shortfilm or why not, my feature lenght film.

I like to help the people who need it, not with money because I am not rich, but with anything else is necessary.

The most important thing in my life is the friendship better than love.

Humble and loyalty is my goal, not easy sometimes, but great when you do it.

The only god that exist is YOU!!!!

I love music, rock and progressive is my favorite.

I love to read about hystory or anything that teach me something.

Every moment and every person teach me something important in life.

I am planning my next big trip to south and central america by car for 6 months. I am so excited about it.

"I only know that I know nothing"
-Socrates.

ESPAÑOL:

Para ser honesto, esto es algo que estuve buscando desde hace mucho tiempo, y jamas crei que fuera a existir hasta que lo vi por mis propios ojos.

Asi es que la proxima vez que tengas planeado visitar Mexico. Estare feliz en enseñarte la ciudad y de ayudar en lo que pueda.

ENGLISH:

To be honest, this is something that I was looking for since long time ago and I never imagined that it was for real.
For me, CS is a great community of people, I really enjoy my trips with all Couchsurfers. Everybody has been friendly and helpfull. I really love it!!!
So the next time you are planning to come to huge Mexico city I will be happy to show you the amaizing things here.

One Amazing Thing I've Seen or Done

ESPAÑOL:

-Mientras estuve trabajando en una agencia de publicidad. Fui a Tapachula, Chiapas. Un huracan llego, se desbordo el rio y destruyo muhas casas. Destruyo los unicos puentes que teniamos para poder comunicarnos y nos quedamos encerrados durante una semana. Teniamos poca reserva de comida, sin electricidad y muy poca agua para beber.
Un helicoptero fue a rescatarnos.

-He sido un "Beach Boy", vivi 1 año en Ixtapa, Vivi 7 meses en Montreal, Canada y vivi casi un año en Europa.

ENGLISH:

While I was working in an advertising company in Mexico I went to Chiapas, an hurriacane came and destroyed a lot of things. It destroyed the only bridges we had to conmunicate. We stay there for one week with a few reserve of food, no electricity and just a few water to drink. An helicopter came to rescue us.

I lived 1 year in a beach in Mexico, I lived 7 months in Montreal, Canada, and I lived almost one year in Europe, London the most of the time.

Marco es un chilango muy chistoso. Es un buen bailarin (el roboto, las cajas, el John Travolta, el ciego, tirando las formas!) Muy divertido. Es alguien muy amable. Senti comodo con el immediatamente.

Marco's a very funny guy. He's a great dancer (the robot, the boxes, the John Travolta, the blindman, throwing shapes!) Very fun. He's a really friendly person. I felt at ease with him straight away.
