PHILOSOPHY

We're all on our journeys with ups and downs. Let's be kind to one another.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to host travelers whenever I can and share my culture. When I have the chance, I also like showing people around my city, cooking with them, and having fun together.

When I travel, I love to meet local people from the places I visit, It's a unique experience to learn about a culture, make new friends, and explore the world through local eyes.

Interests

I do my best to keep on learning, exploring, and challenging my ideas. I founded my own company a few years ago, and it's like a fatherhood of sorts. I spend a lot of time building and working hard to deliver value to my clients.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like to read all types of books, that said, I especially enjoy novels, but in reality, I believe I always try to have a wide scope of the books I read. You can find me on Goodreads as oswaldpledesma.

I love music and one of my goals is to learn to play the piano in a not very long future. I sometimes play the harmonica, I'm not good or anything really, just for myself.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I co-founded with my boyfriend a digital marketing agency called Osmo Digital and I also co-founded with a friend a community for language enthusiasts and coffee lovers called CaféLingua Exchange.

I've visited native/indigenous Mexican communities for social projects related to solar energy and clean water.

I went to study in Austria for a year when I was doing my bachelor's degree in marketing, I traveled to many cities in Europe and made friends from all over the world.

I specifically lived in a city called Krems an der Donau, and the friends I made during this year are still family to this day.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love Mexico's history and its culture, so if you want to learn about something just ask anything you're interested in.

I do digital marketing for a living through my agency Osmo Digital and I've learned a lot about business development, entrepreneurship, and leadership.

I also like languages and have over 2,000 hours of experience as a consecutive interpreter (English-Spanish). If you're interested in this we can talk about it too.

We can go to the GYM together if you want to, I go to a GYM that gives me free passes to invite friends.

We can talk about anything. :)

Good vibes, a cozy apartment, respectful and friendly conversations, red wine, and good tequila.
