I was 16 when I realized that traveling is not meant to be a hobby, but an axis of life. Since then, I have taken every chance to get to know new places, people, traditions, and philosophies inside and outside my country. As a Mexican, I am grateful for the beautiful people and ideals my country has to offer the world. As an internationalist, I am eager to discover each and every corner of it.

Aside from traveling, I consider myself a passionate bookworm, a rollercoaster lover, and a defender of nature! <3

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Touristing around is one thing, actually getting to know a place involves much more than completing a "things to see" list. I wanna get to know cities and towns through the locals' eyes. At home I would love to guide anyone through Mexico City and share its history and cultural magnificence.
