About Me

Aquel que entendio el sentido de la vida no se apura ni se preocupa

I realized after living in Playa del Carmen, Mexico for three months how much I enjoy meeting new people from different places and how much fun you can have with someone you have just meet!

After living for one year in Germany and getting in touch with CS and Couchsurfers I decided to keep doing it, it does not matter where I am. I also realized it is about helping someone that is out there, maybe in a strange city, country, or continent. Making feel the Couchsurfers in contact with the place they are and the people they are with it's one of the best things we can do as CS.

Right now I live in north Germany and work as a researcher in the university and I am really happy about it since it was the job that I wanted since I was a teenager.

Until now I am really thankful to all of those that I've met and even more the ones that have trusted me and showed me a bit or a lot about their lives, homes, and cities!

We need nothing to be happy but ourselves and some passion for something! That is what I am doing here, just a person that is enjoying everywhere he goes and is somehow smiling 99 most of the time, in the end, complaining about the situation does not make it better! We receive what we give, and we give what we think.

Once I start speaking about languages, cooking, my country, my work or gardening I can feel something in me that fires up and makes me speak louder, faster and with passion, it is something that is really hard to describe, but it happens all over again and I am happy about it!

Having the opportunity to communicate in different languages made me realize how different a person can be according to the spoken language, I love it!!!!!

If you wanna meet a Mexican person I would really like to talk with you, expend time with you, and just met you, but please let us avoid small talk, we can leave it for the end of the conversation!

Literally, CouchSurfing already changed my life, I met some people thanks to CS that changed my life, and thanks to them and CS I am right now where I am, willing to help and keep contributing to the community!

I have no plan so it is not possible for me to accept your request if it is for the next month, please do not send that kind of request! Three-four days before is ok, even one day or the same day is ok!

I prefer to host solo travelers or people that are really interested in talking and sharing something, I avoid being with persons that are looking at their phones the whole time so If you are one of them please do not send a request!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Well, I must be honest, I understood the meaning of Couchsurfing after surfing some coaches, but it took a bit of time, it was not right away! I was surprised how nice and kind some people are and how easy they let you get in in their places as they would have known you for a lot of years. It is a really really good experience I can recommend, but please don't do it if you are not able to really contribute to the situation and to just enjoy your stay where you are!

Interests

I studied mechatronics engineering because I love technology and I'm the kind of person that when something is broken, needs to know why it is broken and try to repair it, but my curiosity doesn't end there, I'm not just curious about machines and things like that, that's why I really enjoy meeting new people and listening to stories I would have never thought I would hear, meeting people I thought I would never meet and realizing how small our planet is and how big and wonderful can a coincidence be.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Enjoy every little moment you can not repeat!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can show you how a Mexican sees his own country, culture, and traditions. Will also tell you about our food and the fact that we eat almost everything with chili, but don't worry, that doesn't mean that it's spicy! We can cook together if you want and be ready because I will encourage you to visit Mexico more than once!

What I Can Share with Hosts

A really nice period of time and some interesting talks about whatever we are in the mood to talk about!
