Overview
About Me
To live in the present.
To focus on the people
To share and help whenever possible and also be open to receiving help and generosity from others.
Create genuine connections, see the other as another self.
Sing, dance, walk, observe, be silent, talk, share, play.
Those are my interests now and what defines me as well.
I’m semi-nomadic, seeking the deep; always searching, and sometimes stopping the search just to live.
I’m interested in whatever interests other people. Getting to truly know people has taught me more than any job or university ever could.
And really, for me, the simple act of understanding someone—and being understood— is reason enough to travel, to connect, and, in general, to live.
---------
Vivir el presente
Enfocarme en las personas
Compartir y ayudar siempre que sea posible, así mismo aceptar la ayuda y la generosidad de los demás.
Crear conexiones genuinas, ver a la otra como un otro yo.
Cantar, bailar, caminar, observar, estar en silencio, platicar, compartir, jugar. Esos son mis intereses ahora y lo que me define también.
Soy semi-nómada, buscando lo profundo, siempre buscando y a veces dejando de buscar para solo vivir. Me interesa cualquier cosa que le interese a alguien más, conocer personas, conocerlas realmente es lo que me ha enseñado más en esta vida, más que cualquier trabajo o universidad. Y nada, para mí el simple hecho de entender a alguien y ser entendido es suficiente motivo para viajar, para relacionarme y en general para vivir.

Music, Movies, and Books
Música: Decir que me gusta toda la música sería mentir, pero me gusta casi toda. Nunca me aburro del jazz, la música clásica y los ritmos latinos (por mencionar algunas categorías amplias)...
De libros, ahí si puedo ser un poco más específico sobre lo que leo en este momento:
Borges, Dostoyevski, Krishnamurti, Mary Oliver, Carl Jung.

Teach, Learn, Share
I use to be a professor when in my city, and it's one of the things that I enjoy the most in my life.
I've studied sciences, philosophy, history and arts in different degrees, but constantly trying to keep learning about everything I can. So, I can and really line to teach anything I could know.
I also have a little set of various practical knowledges, like electricity and plumbing or cooking, and other useful things.
I really like to cook for others, so ask me and I'll do it. c:
What I Can Share with Hosts
I offer my help in whatever is needed. I try to offer my help directly when seeing a need, but please feel free for asking me any help if you feel I could help. Communication is always very important, and I appreciate very much when people is open to say what they need, want or expect at every moment.
One thing I will ever would like to do is cooking for you. I really enjoy sharing food, and cooking for others. And of course sharing the tea, coffee, beer or whatever that can be used as an excuse for a nice talk.
Note for some hosts:
At least once, someone has asked me why I only have references as a host on CS and none as a guest. The truth is, my home has been open on Couchsurfing for a couple of years, but in my not-so-touristic city in Mexico there are many hosts and very few travelers. So in two years, only one person has requested to stay and they ended up canceling. That’s basically it. Couchsurfing isn’t very popular where I live, but I’m still used to hosting friends and friends of friends who visit my city, just usually outside the app since that’s how it tends to work here.
