About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Be Here Now! Music is my life (over 100 released songs). Sharing cacao and traditional Mexican rituals around the globe. Doing music for yoga classes, ceremonies, teaching Aztec dance and medicine music. Learning about sustainable lifestyle, connecting with nature.

ABOUT ME
Environmental activist, nature lover/expedition, believe in one race, one voice. Love reading, playing/recording/composing music, seeing/feeling/perceiving/hearing art, cooking (vegetarian mainly), sharing Traditional Medicine and ancestral/prehispanic/oriental knowledge, Aztec Dancing, Photography, . Every day is a great day! Lived with different people, love to meet/learn from everyone I can, no matter where they come from. Mind expansion's all we've got, and it comes from being here and now!

PHILOSOPHY

I try to make my stay in this planet as good as I can for others, including people, animals, plants and whatever comes hehe. After all, we're all life . Every minute is damn precious, everything is a miracle if you perceive it with a naked soul, and it's all about giving yourself to others and learning from them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I finally own a place of my own, out in nature, next to a beautiful river. Open to host people who like being away from the city, connect with Mexican spiritual traditions and maybe help growing plants.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Well not exactly through the page, but I've Couch Surfed many times in my travels. All of them have been incredibly cool!
A cute story. I once slept in the couch of a police station in the middle of the Patagonian Desert by my own in a 120-people town, after an accident me and others had and were separated by trying to get help. They even gave me sweet bread, mate and coffee! =)

Once was invited to a Huichol (Indigenous culture) house when I went to their town in the middle of the mountains, they gave me to eat and rest. They had nothing, and gave me everything, even their hearts.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Wow TOO many... Once spent 2 days in the Patagonian desert after flipping over a car in the middle of nowhere (route 40, argentina). No money, no ID, no clothes, no cellphone service. Nearest town: 150km away. I'll tell you the rest later =P. I got stuck in India during lockdown. Did Vipassana (10 days straight of meditation, in silence). Traveled to far away Indigenous communities to have very deep and spiritual experiences with them. Once played in front of +1000 people, many singing out our songs.
