About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy the world through cultural exchange.

ABOUT ME

I use to travel for work and meet people and cultures. I'm passionate about world heritage sites and popular culture. I like "Son Jarocho" music and I play the "jarana", I sing, also write poetry and I compose lyrics.

I currently live in Barcelona to study a PhD Degree.
I live with my partner and we are very busy morning people.

We only accept people with a real detailed profile. If they come with another couchsurfer, both should have a CS profile and have to include it in the request message.

We are only available on the weekends, thus, request of stay on weekdays are not accepted and will be rejected without explanation.

Request messages that show that you have not read these lines, will automatically be rejected. To proof that you have read the whole description of my profile and you agree on the room conditions, you have to add the text "I have read the full profile and agreed room conditions". Any request without this simple and respectful line will be rejected with no explanation.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My couchsurfing experience started in Mexico, my born country.
In Europe, I had CS experiences in 2013 being hosted in London and recently I and my partner restarted hosting couchsurfers on weekends (one or two nights). Now we are not planning to travel since we are finishing our PhDs and need time to focus on this, but we are happy to "travel" through the experiences of our weekend guests.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share the knowledge and experience of Barcelona where I live since several years ago. I can also share the cooking of Mexican food (my speciality is Quesadillas), cultural heritage and general culture, history of Mexico and its outstanding World Heritage sites. I also play Son Jarocho Music, and sing and dance that traditional expression.
