About Me

Mission: Live every Moment Mindfully

ABOUT ME

After daydreaming in the office about traveling and doing what I love, I finally did it back in 2010 and ended up in Play del Carmen doing underwater photography, crazy trips and the weirdest jobs.

My passion above all is underwater photography, followed by scuba diving the wolrd wide Ocean.

I enjoy cooking for visits, taking people out to cool places and show them how beautiful my country can be.

PHILOSOPHY

"Do one thing, every day, that scares you"
"Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've been to some live events throught the playa forum. And organized a few more. Met quite a few surfers from town.

I also host people often and answer any questions anyone could ever had about playa del carmen, Given that I know the answer :p
