ABOUT ME
I’m a biologist, born in the Yucatan Peninsula with a fascination for insects, crops, and tropical weather. Recently I started my PhD studies on the ecology of the cocoa and living in Palu and Wuasa, Sulawesi for my research work.
I joined couchsurfing during 2008 when I did my first trip abroad. Since then, I haven’t stopped using this platform. I have hosted several people in Mexico and Germany, and I have surfed quite a few couches all around the world.
It ‘sounds like a cliché, but I do love travelling and meeting people of different cultural backgrounds because that improve my understanding of the world and how things actually work. The huge amount of amazing persons I have met and the incredible experiences I have lived in the last years thanks CS is simply countless. That's the main reason I keep on surfing, hosting and meeting CSurfers.

Music, Movies, and Books
MOVIES: I enjoy most the thrillers, and less the comedies. I'm pretty into tv-series (my favorite one "Breaking bad", no doubt)
MUSIC: I like a broad of different kind of music. I'm not really into one specific style or band.
BOOKS: Recently I'm very into distopian authors, such as Orwel, Huxley, Bradbury and some others.

Teach, Learn, Share
TEACH: I love Mexican food of course. And I could teach you how to cook the best enchiladas ever.
LEARN: I like photography (you can check out some of my photos http://wirnosotrosphotography.wordpress.com/) and I always try to find any chance to learn from others new tricks to get better shots.
