Hello I’m Alan 🇲🇽🇺🇸 I live in Tokyo, I’m very tall (1.91cm) and friendly, I’m a Software Developer and Marketing manager and I work in a video game company. 😄

I lived half of my life in Mexico (Hermosillo and Monterrey)
And the other half in the US (San Francisco)

I love to host people when I’m in Tokyo 🇯🇵 but I travel to the Americas and Europe every year for work so I might not always be available. (if requesting, READ THE “MY HOME” SECTION CAREFULLY) If I reject automatically it’s probably because you missed something there.

If I do host you please leave a review!!
I have hosted many more people than my profile shows but unfortunately some surfers left me without a review 😔

More about me:
I love Tech, Anime and History and i absolutely enjoy to learn about different cultures and new stuff in general I’ve lived half of my life in Mexico and the other half in the US But my strong roots and identity are with my Mexico.

I do ALOT of PC Gaming I play stuff like League of Legends, HearthStone, Overwatch, PUBG, Skyrim, Fallout and many indies. I love board games and TCG games such as Magic the Gathering.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I drove from the North of Mexico on the US border to the bottom on Cancun and then drove back.

Teach, Learn, Share

I will always be in for a history, tech, language, food, political or culture related talk and would love to help you out on any language skills.

UnitedStates:
I can tell you how to navigate the US, tips on how to move around, what to watch out for and hidden spots, although I’m more of a west coast boy (LA, SF).

Latino culture:
I would love to teach you Spanish and everything about my culture and how it is to live and be around Mexico , I’ve traveled almost all of Mexico so im pretty confident!

Asian culture:
I can tell you how to navigate Japan and Japanese culture, I can teach some Japanese language and show you my favorite hidden spots and tourist routes. I can show you some underground culture as well.

I’ve also traveled around China and I have many Chinese friends so I can share some of my knowledge of that culture and country too if you’re planning to travel there, I can also show you hidden spots where you can eat the real Chinese food in Tokyo, I can teach you some Chinese slang to impress people when you go there.

I will also share stories and tips about the other countries I’ve visited and lived in such as the US, Europe and some other big cities in Asia.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Mexican or Japanese candy/food and traditional items.
I also tend to reflect my gratitude with actions rather than just words.

I can prepare Mexican food or the food of your choice and I can do some cleaning !

And for what its worth, my friendship since thats my main goal around here :D
