Interests

I like to discover places through its streets and appreciate the architecture and urban landscape inherent in each city.
But I also appreciate what nature gives us, admire a good landscape, enjoy the sun, a good talk with friends by the sea.
I also like to share with people, see how they live their city, learn about their culture, way of thinking, language.
Having fun in good company, going to a concert, dancing, going to movies or see an art exhibition

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Every place in the world has something special that makes it particular.
México is a country that offers cultural diversity and various landscapes such as the desert, the jungle, the beach or the mountains. I'm from the mayan zone that is incredible, but also the DF is a great city to visit, and in the north you can see the magnificent Cooper canyon!!
