About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learn and experience the world, show that theres more about Mexico that meets the eye!

ABOUT ME

I´m currently a student, I´ve been a tennis player all my life and this sport has basically opened the world for me, I never actually played ATP tour but got me some good scholarships. I met my girlfriend Kata in New York, back in 2006 we had then been meeting in Mexico,US or her country, she is from Hungary. So we decided to give it a try on this community as part of a new experience adding up to our international backgrounds.

PHILOSOPHY

Overall I always try to find equilibrium in life

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I’m really looking forward to travelling as much as I can with Kata and getting to know different cultures around the world. I believe the best way to do so is to interact with locals and not just being a passive tourist. I feel committed to share a glimpse of my country to that surfer that is willing to soak in the experience of getting to know Mexico.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Since i just registered its obvious I dont have any CS experience but what I can definetly say is that non CS friends form countries like US,Hungary and Sweden had stayed at my place and its very fun showing the city and getting to share different points of views and interests.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once me and K..where lucky enough to fly over the Riviera Maya in a rare take off maneuver from the pilot (the turquoise ocean and the white sands of the caribbean were a blast to see), normally when you take off from Cancun Intl. you dont cruise over the sea specially that close. The pilot said he was authorized due to excellent weather conditions
