About Me

I recently quit my job and decided to travel for several months. I always hear older people talking about how they wish they would have traveled the world. I have been to many cities in North America, but I have not had the opportunity to explore Europe. I spent some of my childhood living in Mexico. The differences between cultures and languages has always fascinated me. I bought a one way ticket to Europe and I am very excited to see what happens in the coming months.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One of my roommates in college used to host couchsufers. We hosted people form different parts of the world. Everyone always has a story. I think that people in general are very interesting, but couchsurfers in particular have a nice way of showing it...

Interests

  • wine
  • food
  • language
  • medical

Music, Movies, and Books

I am not a huge music expert. I enjoy all types, but what I think sounds the best is when a woman is singing.
When it comes to movies I also like a little of every thing except horror movies.
The books I have recently read are business books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I developed several silicone fluids when I was working in the lab several years ago. They go into consumer products all over the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

In my past job I did sales for a silicone technology company. I can spend hours talking about that (LOL I'm sure nobody would be interested unless you are an engineer working on a medical device of some sort.)

I am a native Spanish speaker, and enjoy attempting to cook Mexican food.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Cultural things about the US or Mexico.
If you are interested in having a real Mexican street taco I can definitely make some for you.

Countries I’ve Visited

Canada, England, France, Mexico, Spain

Countries I’ve Lived In

Mexico, United States
