About Me

A mexican guy who is always willing to travel to special places that could help him understand this world. If we ever meet, I will ask you a lot of questions and, of course, you can ask me all the questions you want.
I hate the use of categories or labels to describe people.
Stop competing and start cooperating, because we need each other.

Of course I want to change the world, but I try to make it on different levels. All our decisions (no matter how small they are) are political decisions.

Soy un mexicano que siempre busca viajar a lugares especiales que puedan ayudarme a tener un mejor entendimiento de este mundo. Si en algún momento nos llegamos a conocer, ten por seguro que te haré montones de preguntas y trataré de tener una gran conversación contigo. Por supuesto también puedes hacerme todas las preguntas que quieras.

Por supuesto que quiero cambiar al mundo, y trato de hacerlo en diferentes niveles de mi cotidianidad. Cada decisión que tomamos (no importa cuán pequeña sea) es una decisión política.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I beleive that this type of platforms can drive to new type of relations between people. I love to talk with travelers because they tend to understand the world, its places, its people...
Of course I like to party, but if you are just travelling to party in different countries and to sleep until midday, well... good luck.

Creo que este tipo de plataformas promueven nuevas maneras de relacionamiento entre las personas. Me fascina hablar con viajeros porque tienden a tratar de entender el mundo, sus lugares, sus personas...
Si solamente viajas para salir de fiesta y dormir hasta tarde, por favor re considera muchas veces mandarme una solicitud de hospedaje.

Interests

I look to meet people from my community and the rest of the world that could help to understand this world.
I really like to read, run, make some research, ask myself a lot of questions, sing, climb, dance, and many other things.
I have worked with different collectives and volunteering projects, but mainly in academic research.

Interesado en conocer a gente de todo el mundo y de mi propia localidad que puedan ayudarme a entender este mundo.
Disfruto muchísimo enseñar, aprender, investigar, hacer millones de preguntas, leer, bailar, cantar, correr, escalar y miles de cosas más.
He trabajado con colectivos y hecho voluntariados, pero en lo que más me he involucrado es en la investigación académica.

Music, Movies, and Books

I always hated to do this type of lists, but then again, we must keep it short and sweet:

Music:
Post punk
Synthpop
New Wave
Alternative rock
Andino music
Jazz (Keith Jarret, Miles Davis, Gil Evans, Sun Ra, Mukatu Astatke, et. al.)
Salsa, cumbia, bachata
Reggaetón
¡La revolución será bailada o no será!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

At the age of 15 I won a scholarship to study in Germany knowing only the super basic stuff of german.
Swimming in a small river in the Amazonas at 9:00 pm.
I got a cheap last minute ticket to Huayna Picchu and felt very lucky.
Watching The National live twice.

A la edad de quince gané una beca para estudiar en Alemania y sólo sabía lo elemental de alemán. Al final todo salió de lujo: aprendí alemán en tiempo récord.
Nadar en un pequeño sub río del Amazonas a las 9 de la noche.
Conseguir un boleto barato y de último minuto al Huayna Picchu.
Ir a dos conciertos de The National
