I'm a 30 year old guy who now is working at a public company focused on providing mortgages for the Mexican workforce. Having graduated six years ago, I don't have as much time as I used to during university, when I began going abroad and having a chance to go out almost after every semester. But that doesn't mean I'm done, as now I have shorter tiem to travel but to appreciate it, and prepare for even longer travels in the future.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In order to fully understand a country, it´s necessary to get involved with the people that live in it.
Know how their life works, and what stories they can share. Everyone has a sotry and it is interesting to hear about it. Also the possibility of being allowed and give it back in exchange, breaking barriers between cultures and meeting new people.

Interests

Reading. This year I decided to read everyday, even if I didn´t do this all days. The habit made me know a lot of great books.

Dancing. Big fan of latin music, always up to dance salsa or bachata.

Painting. I don´t do it often, but I consider it a very relaxing activity.

Travelling. That´s what the site is for mostly. Which is one of the most fullfilling activities I believe there are

• books
• reading
• traveling
• painting

Music, Movies, and Books

The Name of the Rose
1984
Herman Hesse's books
Harry Potter series

Fan of movies but haven't seen much, there's a never ending list of titles to watch.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- The Choquequirao trek in Peru
- Spending a night in the Great Wall of China, at the Jiankou section

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach some basic Spanish, specifically the pronunciation of the language, which is one of the mayor issues at the beginning but after a while it is very easy to pronounce and read.

I can also teach you some Latin dance. Salsa and bachata, not on professional level ha, but enough to make you go to the dancefloor.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My story. The chance to share a different point of view of a person raised in a different country under different circumstances and gain a bit more of knowledge about a different region in the world, some pictures of what my life has looked like, and hopefully some inspiration to keep going even further of what we both have gone.
