Hi!

I consider myself open-minded and a very empathetic person, always trying to know all the facts I can before making an opinion about someone or something and I try not to judge in any circumstance.

I'm a graphic designer experienced in brand design and development. I've worked mostly as a freelancer​, though I've been in a digital marketing agency for the last year.

As an animal lover, I own six cats (Sydney, Mowgli, Ballack, Camilo, Bartolita, Mila). Five of them were rescued from the street for different reasons.

I'm​ a self taught guitar player and I played in a few bands some years ago. I can also play some very basic drums, bass and keyboars. In general, I LOVE the challenge of learning new things.

I like almost all sports; specially football (soccer), rowing and lately I've enjoyed hiking.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe that the best way to really learn about the culture of a place you visit is through the locals, not just from museums or landmarks, and Couchsurfing is an excellent way to experience this.

I value and really appreciate being a guest because I know I'm being allowed in someone else's home and personal space. That's why I'm very respectful and organized, always cleaning up after myself.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiking for almost 10 straight hours all the way to the peak of La Malinche, an inactive volcano in Tlaxcala.

Running a half-marathon (21K) in 1:50 after training for less than a month.

I've taken some salsa and bachata lessons. So I can teach the basics.
