I'm a 30 year old writer. I live in Mexico City, where I grew up, with my wife, Anaïs Abreu D'Argence, also a writer. We share our love for literature, good food, plants, beautiful books and cats. We own a small press, in which we publish poetry in handcrafted editions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We love to travel and we want to know people everywhere we visit. Soon, we'll be in Europe for the first time together and we are really excited. We would also love to share our country and culture with foreign visitors.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Everyday with Anaïs is an amazing adventure, and we have wonderful memories of all the places —within Mexico or elsewhere– that we have been in together.
