CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy life, learn and grow wiser

ABOUT ME

I'm an easy-going Mexican guy living in England who loves experiencing new things, be it food, music, places, people or ideas.
I normally tend towards the tranquil side while at home, but definitely have an adventurous streak that gets easily expressed during holidays. I try not to take life and myself too seriously.

Cautiously daring, conservatively alternative, quietly intense, detachedly involved and slightly paradoxical. An INTP leaning towards F, in case that tells you anything at all.

PHILOSOPHY

Zen-influenced rational hedonism. It totally makes sense in my mind, I swear.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed for a few days in Atlanta, but I haven't had any hosting experiences yet (except with friends and friends of friends, but I guess that doesn't really count).

Interests

Music of wide-ranging genres, science, films, philosophy, food, video games, sci-fi/fantasy, travel, photography, technology, languages.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Metal, progressive rock, classical, psytrance, jazz, post-rock, ambient/downtempo, folk/world (Celtic, Indian and Middle-Eastern, in particular), experimental, new age. Fairly eclectic. :)

Movies: I tend to enjoy most kinds of movies, from art cinema to action. I have a soft spot for Pixar and Pixar-style animation and the surreal.

Books: Mostly fantasy, sci-fi, popular science, philosophy and psychology. But also anything good, really.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Being born. Can't really remember any of it, but it must have been the most shocking experience of my life.
Realizing how tiny we are in comparison to the Universe, sometime during my childhood.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm happy to teach some of the languages that I know. I can also probably teach the basics of juggling. I also like giving back massages, but you'll need to ask.
