Overview
About Me
I'm originally from Durango, Mexico and currently living in Chicago.
I work in advertising but have a passion for photography and traveling. I have a burning desire to see the world, meet amazing people, eat mind-blowing food, and take badass pictures!
I'm an open minded and adventurous human being who enjoys all things Internet, Culture, and World.
I believe life is too short to commit to one place. Since moving to the USA my wanderlust amplified... driving me to study abroad in Pamplona, backpack Europe (18 countries)by myself, go on a 2-week solo trip to Asia and Oceania, and book (impulsively) weekend getaways to other continents.
I'm a guy of good values who believes in karma, always doing good, so I expect that from the people I associate with.
Currently backpacking South America :)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
My Couchsurfing experience has be amazing so far. I'm used to traveling light and solo, most of the times. So I mostly stay at hostels where I can meet other travelers and share our experiences.
However, there is something special about couchsurfing and the unique and local experience and exposure you get from it. This is invaluable and, personally, the best way to explore and get to see a city.

Music, Movies, and Books
Pretty much everything. I enjoy a little of every different kind of music and movies, yet have a personal interest in Sci-Fi movies and self-exploring reads.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I once forgot my cellphone on a taxi in Mexico City. Decided to jump into another taxi and chase the other driver to get my phone back. It was pretty much a journey.
Teach, Learn, Share
Photography, Photoshop, and some video editing. I can teach English and/or Spanish. I have experience in strategic planning for brands and content creation. Willing to learn pretty much anything.
What I Can Share with Hosts
An open, friendly, and resourceful, mind.
