Overview
About Me
I consier myself curious by nature, so I tend to question tons of things and try to learn and read as much as I can, I'm also kinda stubborn so it's a winning combo.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
All my life I've traveled, mostly inside the country visiting different places with my parents, recently I started traveling solo and I found it's one of the most amazing experiences I've had, spending a lot of time with yourself and also allowing you to discover and meet new people and places, getting inmersed in another culture and scenarios, and the food! haha its amazing.
Recently I had the chance to participate in a handful of CS events in europe, a couple of meeting, waling tours, conversation clubs and so on, its been an amazing experience, being able to share, contrast and explore different points of view while sharing a drink or playing pool :) Every conversation you have teaches you something different about a language, a country and way of living.
Interests
I like music, I've never taken music lessons (aside from primary school) so I play piano by ear (amateur), mostly movies and videogames music.
I'm not really into sports, I can watch a game with my friends but I'd rather watch a movie, go out for dinner, or hang out someplace else.
I consider myself open minded so I can talk about many different topics and also listen and learn about many others I ignore.
Music, Movies, and Books
I love reading, I usually devour all the reading material that falls into my hands (except for gossip magazines) Novels, science journals, classic literature, some poetry (Jaime Sabines FTW!), Manga, Comic Books, I'm a big fan of graphic novel, manstream and indie. I love art books (movies, videogames, erotic, comic books, etc)
Among my favorite books you can find: The Count of Monte Cristo, Battle Royale, The Lord of The Rings, The Hobbit, The Godfather, Vampiric Chronicles, Howl's Moving Castle, Life of Pi, It, to name a handful
I also enjoy movies, trying to be open minded but I really love japanese and Korean movies, also the Hollywood and Indie classics, feel free to ask
Music...well, once again Im ecclectic so you can find many curious things in my usual playlist, rock, pop, techno, disco, metal, symphonic metal, folk, country, it depends on my mood :)
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach you spanish, help you practice english, and teach you the basics of mexican sign language.
I can share some recipes, I love to cook and try new kinds of food.
Im willing to learn as much from your country and your culture as you're willing to share :) I'll probably ak tons of questions in the meantime so be patient haha
What I Can Share with Hosts
I am open to pretty much everything, dinner, social drinks, walk around the city.
I want to learn, meet and have fun.
