About Me

I am a warm friendly person and consider my self as a dreamer because I think everything is possible and I try to see the good thing of people all the time, there are many bad things out side but instead of focusing on that we should look for the good things and the good people which make this life trip and amazing adventure, I think this is the main reason why I have a civil association. I am a person who wants to know the world and met new people. I am a friendly person who enjoys the simple things of life like the rain, the cold weather, the multiple tones of green colors on the grass, the smell of the wed earth , a great conversation, an interesting book a delicious meal....

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am here because I want to know the world and make new friends, I think this is a good chance to learn and discover a new world. I am happy that things like this exist because it makes it easier for many people to make their dreams come trough and give us the opportunity to have the best experience on a new place, I know it is completely exciting but on my personal case it is also a bit scary because you do not know anyone, and this platform helps a lot by connecting you with people out there. So it is amazing! Thank you guys!

Music, Movies, and Books

I am open to new music, music is magic and every song tells a story. What I enjoy the must is rock, like The Beatles, Guns ´n roses, the doors, the killers and some. I also enjoy listening to jazz, I love Sinatra and Bubble. And I love dancing salsa.

About books, I am fan of novels, my favorite book was written by Peter James is called an easy dead. I love catchy stories that make you feel as if you were part of it. I am also a personal witter, writing about my feelings and experiences is always helpful to express my self.

I personally love romantic movies, my favorite ones is The note Book. I also like comedy movies and action movies.

About all of this I am always open to suggestions!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One amazing thing I´ve done is swimming in a marathon called Guadalupano, it takes place on Acapulco, Guerrero, México and I had to swimming from the island fo Roqueta to the Caleta beach I about 1 km on the sea, but it was incredible . I have a passion on life which make me feel alive, and it is swimming, I love the calm and quiet time you can get while swimming, and the personal interaction with your thoughts and your self is incredible.

About traveling the best experience I ever had was with my friends, we traveled to many different places in Mexico over a month, it was incredible, I got the change to make new friends from Austria and also gave me new incredible memories.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like helping people I actually have a civil association called FOCOREJ where we work with young people to create new local networks that prevent the violence, we also work on creating citizenship, fomenting enterprising and building sustainable houses. I like teaching, also at the ONG I teach English.
What I can offer to people and to the community is I my social work and experience and I know is just a little compare with all what the rest of the people that I work with give me all the time.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Food is always something that connects people and let people have a good time, so I am in if you want to lean how to cook Mexican food or if you rather I can cook and you enjoy it!. Do you dance salsa? I am not a professional dancer but I know some moves in case you´d like to lean or if you want to practice your Spanish or get some lessons do not daub to ask for it, It would be my pleasure!.
