About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Seeking to live a life of service to others.

ABOUT ME

I'm a Spanish speaking Latino from Mexico. I dance Salsa, Bachata and want to learn Tango and Samba! I play futbol and enjoy sharing Yerba Mate with friends. I graduated with a degree in business and communication. I love sports and really enjoy being in nature. I live next to the ocean and love to go out there and enjoy the beauty.

PHILOSOPHY

Plan like your going to live forever and live today like your going to die tomorrow. I don't want to take any moment for granted. I want to seize every moment.
I live to share the blessings I have been given with others in the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted people and I'm always excited to expand my horizons and meet new people. I have traveled throughout South America and Europe and love to share my experiences with others and learn about other people's views and perspectives. I share my best recommendations with fellow travelers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Met some good hearted people in both Brussels, Cancun and Berlin. I want to pass it on and do the same for others. It was a very positive experience. I have hosted some people from Romania. So far everything has been very positive.
I got to see a side of Cancun when I was hosted and it was such an amazing experience. I totally love Couch Surfing!

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy true story movies that have an inspirational message or have some history to it. I honestly enjoy all kinds of music even music I don't understand. I listen to the music and I appreciate it in every form that it comes in. I like books that teach me something about life and how people think.
Some of the movies that have inspired/influenced me are: Into the Wild, Pursuit of Happyness, 7 pounds, Up and others.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I took a roadtrip to Colorado and snowboarded for a week. The amazing thing I saw was the Rocky Mountains they are so beautiful and big.

I traveled through 9 European countries in one month.

I got to see the Mausoleum of Ernesto Che Guevarra.

I am looking forward to doing something more amazing soon when I go abroad.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to start by sharing a Yerba Mate gourd and then I would love to teach Spanish, salsa and bachata dancing. I like to share my thoughts about life and I would like to learn about other people's points of view. I love to cook and I would like to share some of my favorite recipes I know how to cook Mexican and Italian food because I lived abroad.
