I'm a relaxed guy who likes to meditate and reflect on the human behavior and his interaction with the outer world. I like a lot the philosphy, the literature, the science and arts. I love the nature and all kinds of landscapes since the place more hostile to the place more pleasant.

My favorite authors of ever are, the great philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer, the incredible Fiodor Dostoyevski, the elegant Marcel Proust, the fatalist Gustave Flaubert and the violent Friedrich Nietzsche. I agree with almost all of their ideas.

By now I'm working on my thesis to get my Bachelor's degree on electric engineering. The main theme is about the applied superconductivity in the wind energy to reduce the consumption of rare earths because of the neodymium magnets and also to increase the rate of power in the electric generators. I don't speak a really nice english but i'm trying to do it better.

Also I'm working with my uncle helping to commercialize their handicrafts. He makes fine jewerly of jadeit jade, that is probably the most undervalued of all gemstones. I upload a few pictures of my uncle's work, all the jade was verified by the Gemological Institute of america (GIA).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couchsurfing because i'm planning a trip to Europe and also because i want to help outlanders that wish to visit Mexico city. It will be nice and interesting to meet new people for other countries and guide them to have a nice stay in one of the biggest cities of the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

To survive actual life without dying on the try.
Here in Mexico the life is very surrealist, sometimes it's great sometimes is very disappointing, but the magic exist because here, we live on a tragicomedy stage full of emotions.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share the little knowledge that i have about the Mayas because i'm familiar with the jade, that was a gem very valorated in the Pre-columbian era. The most pure jadeit jade is extracted from three countries that are Burma, Kazakhstan and Guatemala.

For some of the Pre-Columbian civilizations the jade represents an eternity sign just because his appearance did't change over time. The importance of the stones and minerals on this era were not valued only for the utility of this materials but for the meaning and the relation that had with their world-view and their representation about the universe.

For the Mayas the idea of time as a cycle, and therefore an awareness of the future play a fundamental role. They insert their own existence and the existance of the community into the eternal cosmic cycles, so that the life in general acquires a much wider dimension than the life of a single individual, therefore, humankind is part of the great natural cycles and people are affected by the same things as flora and fauna; they are born and they die, but nature continues.
