About Me

I consider myself to be a kind, smiley and friendly guy. Since I was 5 years-old I got used to moving to different cities within my country (Mexico) with my family, and it did't seem to change as I grew old and could choose by myself. In the last five years, I've lived in three different countries: Spain, Germany and Mexico. I´ve always been interested in learning new languages (despite I´m not very skillful in this matter) as I find exciting the fact of getting to understand people better and deeper as you use their native language. Moreover, I think every language is a way of thinking and living, it reflects much of a country culture, that is simply awesome!!! I truly enjoy meeting and getting to know new people and listen their stories and enriching life experiences, I sincerely offer a genuine friendship to everyone who´s willing to do that.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think of Couchsurfing as a way to offer help to travelers from around the world who could be interested in visiting my country, stay in a safe place and be introduced to the Mexican culture and customs. It would also be an opportunity to know people with similar interests if I decide to travel to other countries in the future.

Music, Movies, and Books

I don't think I have a favorite music genre, I learned to enjoy different types of music in the different regions I lived in and as I grew up I became interested in new music genres (from pop during my childhood, rock and heavy metal when I was a teenager, to jazz and instrumental music in the recent years).

My favourite movies are: Harry Potter (specially "The goblet of fire"), Orange Clockwise, The Shinning, Pink Floyd The Wall, The 8th day (french), Wreck-it Ralph).

My favourite books are: Aura, Steve Jobs, Man's search for meaning, Harry Potter (again :p), Seven habits of highly efective people.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Spanish, English, Portuguese and a bit of German. I've lived in Mexico, Spain and Germany, so there're some things to share in terms of cultural experiences.

I'd like to get immersed in the American culture and practice my English skills. I'm also interested in the Japanese culture and maybe in learning Japanese one day.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Not much than my friendship and an interesting exchange of life experiences, culture and customs. I know a couple of Mexican food recipes, so I might be able to cook something if there's time and the opportunity makes it appropriate.
