I'm a Mexican history student at the Graduate Center, CUNY. I live with my girlfriend Catalina and my dog Ziggy. I've been living in New York for over two years and I'll be here at least three more years until I finish my PhD.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I need a place to stay in Chicago for my cousin's wedding.
