About Me

Hi! I'm someone who wants to change the world. It sounds utopical, but it's not! I'm sincere when it's about friendship, and serious when it's about international issues and affairs. That's why I'm on Couchsurfing. Because I'm totally sure this is a perfect way to making it possible.
I live with my girlfriend. Her name is Eri and she's from Japan. We both are very open to get to know travelers around the world! We have just started a YouTube Channel about Couchsurfing! If you want to get to know about us a little further, visit our channel and our first videos here: Eri x Alan Mx

When you send us a message of host, please see a video and tell us what we can improve and also what you liked so that we can make the next video better!

**By the moment, we can only host in Puebla by my family, since we're in Tokyo at the moment. If after Mexico City, you would like to go to Puebla, let me know and I could host you! My house is just 35 mins away from bus to the downtown.**

Now, a little bit about me. Being on Couchsurfing is to find the best experience ever! This place, full of different, amazing people, is what makes us get to know deeper a country. This is the way you can find people that you would never know otherwise! However, it's even more complex than this. Here we can find different mindsets and cultures. That with a little of effort, can make you be more open minded, which is a virtue for me! The best of traveling not as a turist, is that you really get something very valuable from knowing people.
I do think that anyone can get the experience of a life here, know the friend of a life here and get knowledge and understanding of this world here, so I'm sure anyone I'll encounter here will give one or more of those important things and I'm sure I'll do the same!

Talking about me can take me so long,
I love doing everything, so it's impossible to say every important thing, but I must say I'm sincere about my feelings. For me every person is very important because you can always learn from everyone and sometimes they can even change your life! That's why I always give the best to everyone, because who knows how important this person will be in the future ;) if we have the luck to meet up, I'm sure this won't be a casual encounter.

I've learnt that the world is for the people who don't have fears, people who take risks and who think that maybe there won't be a second chance! This world can change you, but never stop you as long as you think so. When you do things you could have never done, you find a new world, and finding new worlds is something everyone should do to better understand people. So, just getting to know people and trying new things is how I live, always collecting experiences!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's the same reason than you! In Canada I found a way to travel by myself and then, in Quebec, I found out amazing warm people. They did help me so much in everything... That's something I'll never forget.
I really wanna give back that favour! I want you to feel the same experience I lived in that moment.

If I'm offering to you a place to stay is because I found you interesting and I think we can match in many things! And of course, I'll try to help you as much as I can!
Don't hesitate to send me a message if I send you one ;) You're very welcome any time!

Thanks for reading :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I traveled by Europe with €12 budget per day, knew different people who broke every stereotype and now I have my best friends all over the world!!

I did hitchhiking from Lyon to Barcelona going all the way to the South! That was the only way how I improved my french skills! Talking with people on the road! And honestly my best experience in France in 3 months!

I lived in Japan for 6 months with the only objective to make people know about my culture and motivate them to go there! So far, I've talked with many many people, some of them are now on the way to go to Mexico finally! And also I got to speak japanese in 4 months because of that! :)

Always during the travel, I've got many many experiences, some of them weirder than others! Couchsurfing permitted me to have those stories. I could not finish to say them all in one night! So we can talk a little bit about them!

When I was 16 y.o. I joined up a group of mucisians to play barroc music and by that, we created a Chambre Orchestra! I really enjoyed my time with them all...
I think this is the best site to give them a place in my life, these people are:
Iván
Jesús Alejandro
Leonardo
Wendy
Coral
Abraham (Potter)
Taiga
Lalo
Axel
Ángel
Ángeles (troy)
Bruno
Lily
Erick
Lalo (singer)

Thank you SO much for all your time given! I really appreciate it and will never forget you all guys!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach spanish, english and french. I've found a really useful way to learn languages so if you wanna try it, I can show you!

About learning, I'm so open. I can learn about anything, so if you have any passion about something, please tell me!! It's always great to hear about passions because it's spread!

The best things I can share are experiences! I've got several of them during my trips, but also here in Mexico. I think one of those things I know the most is about my culture, so I can tell you everything about it, but always with a contrast with other countries!
I can share music as well ;) I can try to play to you the Mexican music "Bésame Mucho" or the Cannon of Pachelbel.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I always have great stories to tell, so I' sure you will like to hear some of them ;) My culture is one of the things you will be very surprised so I'll do my best to show you the most possible! If you wanna dance or wanna learn to do it, ask me for sure and I'll show you the best music to do it and more than just it.

But most important, I'll share to you my support in anything and anytime as the friends we will be!
