About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learn, Enjoy, Smile, Change.

ABOUT ME

“Everyone you will ever meet knows something you don't.”

I'm proud of being part of UNAM (Universidad Autonoma de Mexico).
I enjoy riding my bicycle, musician in my free time and trying to change the world, one ride at a time. I hope one day I can be part of a place where developers can meet and have open source projects.

PHILOSOPHY

I think life is about finding. I love the felling of my bed after being far away from home, it feels like a hug. I have a quote that always cheers me up "if you want something you've never had then you've got to do something you've never done".

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm trying to host whenever I can, I like giving tours or inviting friends to have breakfast. Mi casa tu casa. from downtown to south Mexico City I know a lot. I live with my family and they have always love to show around Mexico.

I know traveling can be exhausting, if you are around Coyoacan you can make a stop here and refresh.

I used to go to meetings but during school time is hard. I love the language exchange groups and always willing to learn some art.

As a surfer I'm a small part of Mexico with a jumping entrepreneur spirit. I am polite and I ask a lot of questions, I also love to answer questions about my home country.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

One of my first experiences was in Athens, I was taking a walk with Michael who was hosting me, I learnt so much about the big and small places I really wanted to have more time but he thought me something I will never forget, you can be in one place a lot of times, but when you are with a friend, suddenly you can see that same place through another eyes and that same place is not longer the same.

Interests

Music (I used to play in a band with my friends), history, books, I like taking photographs,

I'm trying to figure out what to do with 360 videos.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite movies are the ones who play with my perception, like matrix, inception, butterfly effect, etc.
I love punk, rock and jazz. I am a fan of the 80's.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Help to design a bicycle with user centered design.
Walking 5km uphill with 16kg on my back just to see the ecce homo in Borja, Spain.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know the basics of piano, guitar and bass, some useful things about how NOT to be an entrepreneur and how to fail. Learned the hard way.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm very passionate with history and I try to build the timeline of things, I enjoy the small things, I like having talks and walks, you can freely ask me the good and the not so good things about my country. If it's possible I always try to bring some food, nachos is not Mexican food haha.
