¡Hola! I'm Elías, an easy–going guy who loves exploring nature, from the sea to the mountains summit, discovering biodiversity and meeting people from all over the world.

I'm from Mexico City, but I live in a small town on the Riviera Maya called Puerto Morelos. This magical place has a beautiful coral reef ecosystem full of life. I work as a snorkeling and diving guide in the National Marine Park. I protect and conserve the coral reef and enjoy sharing how I contribute to its care. I'm a member of Guardians of the Reef and participate in other conservation projects.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet and spend time with people from other places and cultures. Treat to people as you would like be treated when you are traveling from place to place.

In my house everyone who is respectful, kind, and positive is welcome.
