About Me

Nací en 1986 y hasta los 23 años viví en México donde, entre otras cosas, estudié la licenciatura en Lengua y Literatura Hispánicas. En el 2007 fui de vacaciones a Argentina y decidí que allí quería vivir algún día. Lo conseguí en el 2009 cuando, junto con Sol, tomamos un avión y aterrizamos en Buenos Aires.

Desde entonces han pasado cosas interesantes: comencé una maestría en tecnología educativa que aún no termino, comencé una especialización en periodismo cultural que me terminaré y, además, me sumergí muy profundo en el mundo del poker. Durante tres años trabajé como reportero pokeril y viajé por varios países cubriendo torneos de póker. En el 2014 me tomé un descanso pero estoy por volver a cubrir los paños.

A finales de 2014 volví a Comitán y me encuentro, junto a Sol, armando el gran proyecto: LALILU.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first CS experience was in december of 2005 and was terrific. I think it was one of my best life experiences ever. Sol (my girlfriend) and I went to Canada for holidays and were hosted by two amezing couchsurfers: Tyler and Liz. Since it was our first time here we were a little frightened but everything went ok and we left Canada with two good friends and a completely new way of thinking about travelling and sharing with unknown people.

Since that day i have been used Cocuhsurfing a lot, to travel and to host people. I have met great persons around the world and I considered them very good friends.

Definitly CouchSurfing is soo good and pretty cool.
