PHILOSOPHY

Learn,love, eat and live all you can!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to help people . Get to know a new mind, make some new friends. I started sharing my city and my country 14 years ago, I started using CS to try a new path.

I can show the city and its interesting places, help with information about the country, its roads and its best places to visit. We offer a warm welcome and a sincere fellowship.
I love to meet new people, always.
I cook many times, traditional/national and alternative food as well,(Or we can show the city's best places to find great food, if that is what you need) we welcome new recipes always.
Some free days a week.

"Visitar una ciudad en México es como seducir.. tienes que tomar tu tiempo, abrirte a las posibilidades, entregar tu fuerza y amar cada momento...Para que después, sola, se abra hacia ti con amor y te ofrezca sus secretos.."

Interests

I can keep talking for hours about this country, its history and its past ,present and future.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a direct and sincere person. You can always hit me up to talk about nerdy stuff and alternate between the meaning of life and Game of Thrones.

Be so kind that people think you are weird
Be so honest that people know you are an idiot.
Be so direct that people understand your intentions
