About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel all over the world finding amazing places and people!!

ABOUT ME

Well, I was born in Mexico, in 1990, and grew up in a small town living with my parents... At the age of 18 I was accepted in a great University in other town of Mexico, so since 2008 I've been living in this new town with people of different towns and countries that study at the same University. Nowadays I am in an exchange program studying in Zagreb and traveling for my first time in Europe :)

PHILOSOPHY

Live every day as the last one of my life, make things happen, every morning is a new opportunity to be a better person.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As I said in my description, it is my first time in Europe and I want to know as more places as I can... But, as all the young people, the main problem is money... That's the reason of participating in CS, not only to stay in places with free accomodation, but also to receive people like me, travellers from all over the world that can share me part of their culture, values, experiences, etc...

As host I don't really like to receive people that use my place as hostel, just to sleep... I prefer to receive people that wanna know new cultures, people who I can give a tour in my town, give them tips, cook for them, really make a friendly relationship with my guests.

As guest I must say the same, I like to stay with people that has time to show me the places, to talk me about new cultures, meet new ways of life, and stablish a good relationship. I feel kind uncomfortable when I stay in places just for sleep, without knowing whit who i'm living.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In Mexico, I've been living with people of different towns, and when I travel inside my country I usually stayed in places of my friends, where I can live a different experience, not only a tourist experience.
Since I've been living in an apartment for my studies, I had live with foreign people, and I always do my best to show them the best part of my country, to teach them how to live as Mexican, some tips, tours, food... you know all about Mexican culture.
Since last year I am living in other country, and I think this is a CS experience everyday. Hanging out with people of all around the world, trying food from different countries, knowing different behavors and cultures.
While traveling in Europe, most of the times I stayed with friends that are also studing abroad, because they can show me the best places, the best food, they can share me the experiences of living in a different culture.

Interests

I like to visit new places, meet new people, try different food, learn new languages :S ... My personal interests are play soccer, go to the cinema, cook, listen music, play piano, make new friends.
