About Me

I'm very passionate, and when I set my mind in to something I accomplished it. When I was 18 I said I want to travel all my life and I have done it, I have visited all the continents and more than 45 countries. I became a travel writer, after I studied hotel management, then I did a diploma in photography and another one in film making. I have work in a production of an ecotourism TV program and I write for a mayor newspaper and different magazines. I love people, I want to see the world and how they live. I love to try new food. For me traveling is about experiencing life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Interests

Travel, photography, art, movies...I love my work, and every year there is something new, a new big trip, a new project, a new friend, a new experience. This year I'm producing a video blog to promote Mexico City as a tourist destination.
