About Me

Arts and culture fanatic, love my job working in a Museum dedicated to Novo-Hispanic Art, also love to get lost in the city and finding new spots where culture is alive.
I’m a very easy going person, very relaxed, very cheerful, Adventurer, hate people with bad vibes, love meeting new people to have very long conversations, also love music, theater, cinema, big concerts & street performances are my favorites.
A food lover in every way, video game fanatic (Nintendo mostly), taste for design, trends and anything easy on the eyes.
Love drawing, painting and design stuff I make illustrations as a hobby

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I´m Couchsurfing to meet, meet places, meet people, meet stories, meet cultures.
I love to be amazed and get surrounded by so much beauty that exists in the world.
Also I love the food, taste new flavors, see how a culture can taste, discover the ingredients that bring flavor to a city; I want to eat the world complete (laughs in Mexican)

Music, Movies, and Books

Music:
(a hard question) almost everything, the “exotics” are my favorites, discover new world music that brings something new to your senses rings lots of bells in me.
I don´t like what in Mexico calls “norteña”, “la banda”, “corridos” also don’t like the bachata, reggaeton, salsa & merengue (mostly because im a terrible dancer)
Love: folk, Reggae, ska, rock, “indie music”, pop, dance, psycho, ballads and if it´s good music to sing, i´m aboard (I have a tiny guilty pleasure for Broadway musicals)
Movies:
Anything from Wes Anderson, Jean-Pierre Jeunet & Tarsem. Love animated movies, mostly short films, Lord of the Rings & Harry Potter, musicals, Henry Selick and Tim burton of course. Hate Woddy Allen and Pedro Almodovar
Books:
I´m not a reader but Lord of the Rings, Wicked and anything from Jose Emilio Pacheco

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Street Art (grafitty), beach raves, expose in a gallery, organize exhibitions & travel through the Mayan Riviera
