About Me

INFP ( You may ask for my @ on Instagram to make sure I'm a real human, I'd put it here but it's not safe)

I'm super easygoing! Just a curious and hopeful introvert, good hearted, gentle and with a funny and innocent spirit.
If the particular context arises though, I'll turn into a fairly serious intellectual who will gladly navigate through deep conversations, topics, share concrete opinions and handle determinant and logical decisions, though I'll probably end up slowly making my way back into an absurd punchline if I can lol, that is of course as long as you're not a creep, or disrespectful or make me uncomfortable, because then you will meet a side of me that's machiavellicaly sharp, decisive and unpleasant; but hopefully that won't happen (lol).

I believe in respect and good human values.
Open minded, observant and considerate.
I love humour (sometimes it gets dark but I try to read the room lol), have a passion for music and all sorts of art expression (movies, books etc).
I'm fairly good at most sports, I've probably tried them all but I don't practice anything in particular right now, I also don't really enjoy watching sports lol, just playing them.
Love trying new activities, love videogames, board games with friends, playing guitar, singing, dancing (RnB, hip hop, Salsa and a little Bachata) and going to concerts. Enjoy music production and sound design as a hobbie (I'm NOT a DJ lol).
Enthusiastic about learning, growing and discovering humanity through the world :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Been recovering from a health problem that is statistically very unlikely to come back from by researching on my own, reading scientific articles and trying alternative or modern physical therapies.

Teach, Learn, Share

Spanish, cooking? Idk lol but If I can I will share any knowledge.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Utmost respect for you and your home. I'll clean after myself and try to replace any amenities I consume. I'll gladly give you a hand if I'm there, help you carry things or whatever.
I'll gladly share my knowledge about my experiences, language, culture or any of my skills with you.

I'll try to travel with a small souvenir from my country, could be mexican candy, or mexican chocolate or natural mexican vainilla extract. Tiny bottle of tequila or mezcal. Achiote or mole paste (traditional seasoning for famous mexican dishes).
A small tradicional fabric doll or toy. You can choose :)

I'll also cook a mexican dinner for you one night, as long as I'm able to find necessary ingredients on a supermarket somewhere.
