I´m an archive conservator and Im currently working at the National Film Archives in Mexico city.
What I like about traveling is meeting new people going to museums and parks, getting to see what are the local´s main activities and most of all, I love trying new food.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Im on couchsurfing because I think it is a great way to know people and to get involved with the local culture.

Interests

I love traveling, and meeting new people, sight seeing, finding places to eat or to see that are not on trip advisor, but are way better.´I like going to museums, but also to markets and parks. I like going out and having a drink with friends, but I also like staying at home watching movies or tv series.
I consider myself tolerant with people different from me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

-I really like my job, so having access to particular colections and wharehouses of museums it´s really cool because I can see things that are importat for some cultures and they have decided to keep for some reason, so that is very special.

-The most amazing thing I have done was swimming in a river in Oaxaca with bioluminiscenct particles that shine in the dark as you move your hand or your body. It was really magic.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like teaching artistic activities to kids, mostly watercolor and book binding, but I also like teaching old photographic processes mostly to photo conservators.
