About Me

I work at an office to pay the bills. I'm a mathematician, working on IT-related field. People usually think I'm a cold person because I'm not too expressive, but when you get to know me better, you'll see that I'm not.
I'm not the biggest party animal but I can handle a dance night once in a while. I live by myself but I enjoy being with friends.
What I like the most is to learn new things. I truly believe that if there's a will, there's a way. I love my city, and recently I felt in love with London.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think travel is an amazing way to know other cultures, and living with people from the country you are visiting gives you the most real experience, and an honest approach to the way locals think and live. Also is a great oportunity to make new friends and share with people that you may never had the chance to know in a regular trip to a hotel.

Interests

I like to travel but must of the time I'm working. I enjoy having little gatherings with friends and watching movies. I practice mountain biking and have an extra bike if you want to try it when you come to México.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like almost all kind of music, but specially old music I think. I like to listen to new music but you can never hear enough. I enjoy Rock, bossa, latin, brit-pop, etc.

I prefer comercial movies but some of the art movies are also great. I enjoy thrillers, comedy, scary movies don't scare me but are fun too. I watch a lot of movies and tv series and I'm uber fan of Netflix.

I read novels, and books related with computer science, distopic reality Or love. My favorite authors are Carlos Fuentes, Oscar Wilde, Mario Benedetti, Stephen King. Also I'm trying to know more abut philosophy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was a dancer when I was younger, and my company presents on the 'Festival del fuego del caribe' (Caribean's fire's festival) and that was really amazing. Perform in front of other countrie's people and share with artists was amazing.

Also, jumping falls on San Luis Potosí México was quite an adventure (for somebody who is scared of hights).

Teach, Learn, Share

Some spanish, or about ancient mexican culture. Also I can cook, not traditional Mexican food, but mexican style. I also know a lot of great places to eat at the city.

What I Can Share with Hosts

This is a hard one, I'd say cultural sharing, funny stories, good laughs.
