About Me

Well, I got a lot of things to say about myself. Im a free spirit in Mexico City. I love traveling and teach everything about my country, meet people from everywhere.

I write about Philosophy, History and Sociology. I also write about ancient cultures in my blog in Spanish "Rebelión Antigua" and I also record a podcast with the same name. I'm writing my PhD thesis in Tecnológico de Monterrey University about Social Networks and . I'm also in charge of my neighbourhood proyects and my building management. I use Couchsurfing mostly for events and hangouts but from time to time I give a couch to travelers.

I like to think of me as a pragmatist, stoic and tech savvy. I love exploring new ways of living. I consider myself a great tourist guide and expert about Mexico.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Mostly to organize amazing events in my city. I love making friends from all around the world. Changing points of views and knowledge. I love to receive people who love to cook and eat all kind of food so we can share meals and eat together.

Music, Movies, and Books

My kind of music is relative to my mood. From Bossa Nova to Hard Metal, and mostly alternative Rock and Pop. My favorite book is Zorba the Greek because I read it after my graduation and it tells me a lot about life outside of school.

Some other of my favorite movies are: Shawshank Redemption, Vicky, Cristina, Barcelona, Cinema Paradiso, Lost in Translation, Before Sunset, Perfect Days, The Substance.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Drink pulque with local people of Tlaxcala.

Climb one of the highest mountains in Mexico without any equipment.

Cook with local people in a very old town in Oaxaca (San Pablo Guila)

Visit Nietzsche's Tomb in Germany

Organize five times a great New Years Eve party in Mexico City and Germany
