I am originally from the beautiful city of Colima, in the Pacific Coast of México, where I grew up until I moved to Querétaro and then Mexico City to do a bachelors in Earth Sciences. During that time I also lived a couple of summers in Vancouver, Canada where I met a lot of very dear friends from all over the world with whom I keep in touch to this day. After graduating, I worked for a few years in topics of renewable energy and sustainable development, until I decided I wanted to pursue a masters in Europe. Now I live in Hamburg, Germany where I am doing a degree in Climate Sciences and I am taking every chance to travel around Europe and to get immersed in so many places, cultures, languages, histories, etc.

I love learning and experiencing new things, and meeting new people, and traveling is such a nice way to do that. I am always up for having a good laugh, doing something interesting or challenging.

Museums, art, dancing, reading a book in a park, walking (or cycling) around a city stopping at every corner, visiting historical landmarks, getting coffee... I am all for that! I think I am a big nerd, but a sort of cool nerd... I hope? haha.

I believe peace needs empathy and understanding, and travelling helps us develop both.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new cool people from all around the world, be it at home or abroad.

Right now it's a bit difficult for me to host, as I am back to being a student renting a room in a shared flat, (I hope that changes soon) but I will gladly show you around Hambug. Museums, landmarks, drinks, cycling I am up for it, just hit me up.

If it's real, if it's well crafted, I enjoy it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hiked to the top of an extinct volcano in México, " el Iztaccíhuatl". When I got to the top I could see for miles and miles inland, but I was so tired I had to lie down and fell asleep a couple of minutes, right there on the summit. When I woke up, there were clouds all around and a little bit lower, so it felt like waking up from a dream into another dream. Also, quite scary.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am very easy and I can adapt to your schedule, to take as least as possible of your time from your daily duties. Although if you're available, I would love to hang out sometime.
I can cook you a mexican traditional meal. And I always always keep the place where you let me stay, tidy and clean.
