ABOUT ME

I am a kind and responsible person, I like to be honest, and empathetic, and I appreciate a good sense of humor. Sometimes I'm a little desperate and impatient. I am interested in smart conversations and pleasant company. I think that several things can be fixed with mutual understanding and some good tequilas.

My favorite quote is: "We lose ourselves when we compromise the very ideals that we fight to defend. And we honor those ideals by upholding them not just when it is easy, but when it is hard". By president Obama.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I consider that is an excellent way to make friends and to learn more about the world with other points of view. I prefer this type of accommodation because is cheaper and useful to have a better trip.

Interests

I study law at UNAM Mexico, and politics at Georgetown University, so I am interested in knowing about the legal systems of other countries, their culture, their people, the way in which States interact in the international arena, and the public policies that governments undertake to solve social problems. I am also interested in learning about science, technology, music, cinema, theater, sports, and other interesting activities, especially in cultural matters. I think the important aspect of meeting foreign people is the possibility of discovering a new world in each person.
