CURRENT MISSION

To host travelers, make them feel welcome, and have a good time in the process.

ABOUT ME

Hi CouchSurfers! I live in San Marcos close to shops, restaurants, amusement parks, etc. I am originally from Colima, Mexico, and have been living in San Diego North County for a few years now. I work for a wholesale plant nursery growing ornamental and unusual plants, like carnivorous plants, orchids and other indoor plants.

PHILOSOPHY

What is the worst that can happen? Do not worry too much about the material things... they come and go, try to live your life one day at at time and be happy, there is no time for bad energy or bad feelings, they just damage your body and spirit! And do not spend your money in material things, they are a drag at the end, spend your money in experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Let other people know what CS is all about, is not about staying for free where you go! Is about human relationships, personal connections, getting to know people outside your usual social circle, expanding your horizons and sharing what you have with others. With CS you not only travel to places, you travel TO PEOPLE!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Mainly as a host, haven't been a traveler yet with CS. I'm planning to change that soon! I've been a traveler with SERVAS (organization similar to CS). On both organizations, I've met wonderful people and had very good experiences.
