About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To learn, and I'm not talking of school and books, but to learn through experience, to see, to hear and even taste everything I can, wisdom comes along with experience

ABOUT ME

Well, I'm an open minded guy who tries to enjoy life as much as possible, anger, intolerance and racism are just baggage in my opinion.
I definitely love history, I can talk and talk with my friends about history and I just won't get bored; my love for history has made me appreciate all the little and big cultural differences around the world, that's why I love to travel so much, unfortunately the economic issues don't allow me to do it as often as I'd like, but when I do, I enjoy it just as the first time.

I love music, specially rock music, but I'm open to new stuff; I'm sort of trying to learn to play the electric guitar, I'm not very good though.

PHILOSOPHY

Unlike cats, we only have one life, so I think our purpose in life is to learn from it, to "suck in the experience", to get wise by seeing, touching, smelling and doing all the new things you see, after all, those experiences are the ONLY thing we can take to the grave, right?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well, I'm new at this, and unfortunately, since I still live with my parents, I can't offer a couch, but I'm open for a drink or coffee, maybe show you around the city, and I'd be happy to give you some advise if you're visitng Mexico City, even if you are visiting another part of Mexico, I can help you out finding some information about the place you're about to visit.
