Hello there, Hola!!! What can I say about myself ??? First let me tell you I'm a lover not a fighter. I was born in Chihuahua, Mexico, but I moved to Texas when I was young. I have been in Texas for 18 years and no I'm not a cowboy Lol. I love dogs and any other animals. I'm passionate about art, bicycling, wine, beer, and travel. I'm married to my high school sweetheart, we have been married for 10 years and counting. We do not have children, but we love kids. I'm an electrical designer during the day, and at night I become Batman!!!

I'm a minimalist, I believe less is more!!!
I believe we all should live life to the fullest, that is why I take to heart Don Quijote's advice to Sancho-"For freedom, as for honour, life may and should be ventured..."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing for many reasons, but the two most important reasons are because I love meeting people and to travel through this beautiful blue dot we call home. I believe the more we travel and learn from other people's culture we become richer and we help to break the boundaries that divide us.

"He who reads much and walks much, goes far and knows much,"-Don Quijote.

Another reason I'm on Couchsurfing is because I value the great tool that Couchsurfing is. Couchsurfing allows us to connect with people on a different level that would be difficult on a typical vacation.

I believe we have a natural desire to share our material things and time with people who are willing to do the same for us. Another thing I value about Couchsurfing is that allows us to travel through other people's experiences.

Music, Movies, and Books

"Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything." - Plato

Yes Plato, you are the man!!! I could not have said it better than that. Music gives soul to the universe, so here let me share some of the music I like to listen to..

I listen to all kinds of music, from classical music to hard rock, but here are some artists I listen to:

Bob Marley
Andrea Bocelli
Los Enanitos Verdes
Alabama Shakes
The XX and many others!!!

How about movies??? Mmmmm let's see....

Some of my favorite movies are Forrest Gump,
Terminator, The Notebook, and The Motorcycle Diaries(FYI the book is better).

I also like documentaries and short films.
One of the latest documentaries I've seen is Happy on Netflix, I really recommend this one.

Here are some books that I enjoy reading: Don Quijote de La Mancha, Vagabonding, The eighty dollar champion, Love in the time of cholera, and The Motorcycle Diaries.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hiked through the Grand Canyon from south rim to north rim in 16 hours.

Teach, Learn, Share

What can I share with you??? Well I believe we all can learn from each other, so I can share my small knowledge about life. I hope to learn many things from all the wonderful people I will meet through my life. I'm an open minded person, so I'm always open to new ideas. I know a thing or two about craft beer and wine, but I'm not an expert, so I hope I can learn more from you. I also like to cook Mexican food, so I can share some tips with you if you like to cook too.
I'm a minimalist, so I love to share my ideas about living simple. I believe living simple is the best way, but not the only way.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I will share nothing but positive vibes, good company, and knowledge on anything I'm passionate about. I also will help with any task around the house and clean up after myself.

Note: I will never push my beliefs or preferences on anyone and I don't expect my host to be with me 24/7. We are all adults here so please do not send me messages that say, "I expect all my CS guests to share my lifestyle and be naked while in my house."
