About Me

I'm from Mexico. I just finished college recently and I'm in the middle of a trip through Canada. Then I'm hitting Japan. I believe in taking opportunities and living life to it's fullest in a smart, conscious way.
PLEASE, NEED A PLACE TO SURF IN TORONTO THIS WEEKEND :D

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe traveling is not as much about the places as it is about the people. I'm a new couchsurfer, but I have friends who had great experiences couchsurfing in the past...so now I'm in for a bit myself. I'm not super extroverted but I do enjoy making new friends, partying and discussing serious topics.

Interests

I enjoy all kinds of audiovisual media. Music is a must in my life and I'm addicted to tumblr (though I'm kinda old for that now). Hobbies aside, I'm an economist, but I'm not into finances really, I'm more into ecological economics (the hippie side of economics) and I do believe in the urgent need to change our consumer habits.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

traveling by myself and getting out of my comfort zone is something that's taking a lot from me, but I'm enjoying it and learning with every minute of it.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you Spanish and show you how to prepare some real Mexican dishes, not that Taco Bell stuff. And for those curious about economics and economist, I can explain why we want to conquer the world.
If you come to Mexico I can show you around the city and take you to those places us locals love.
