:D Hello! My name is Yuri, I'm 31 years old and I'm from Mexico. I'm a certified English teacher studying towards a bachelor's degree in Pedagogy. I am a friendly and open-minded person who loves meeting people from different places, traveling, learning languages, learning about cultures, trying different foods and reading.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to travel and meet people. I can only travel on a budget and I thought this would be a fantastic way to do both things.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I haven't done anything extraordinary but moving to China and staying 5 years over there was an amazing experience for me. I studied Chinese language, I tutored kids, I traveled around the country and learned so much about the culture.

Teach, Learn, Share

Knowledge is a wonderful thing to share. I could teach you a bit of Spanish and I would love to learn about the place I'm visiting, your language, your culture, etc.

What I Can Share with Hosts
