I am a filmmaker and cinematographer. I love my work, because it makes me know a lot of new people, places and lets me discover a lot of points of view of lots of stories. I like to observe and listen, I like being outdoors, going to the forest (at least to the park!), walking my dog makes me be relaxed and calmed, I like sharing silences with him.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like traveling a lot, sometimes I do travel a lot for work, but it's not the same. Now I am trying to get to a really different place from where I live, and concentrate to write a new project. I believe that when you switch scenarios, inspiration might come, simply as you see things, feel things you normally don't when you are at home.

Interests

Films are my heartbeat. Making them is my drive and the best way I have found to deeply communicate with the world. Music is a beautiful frame to every thing you look at. I want to know the world. I follow my instinct. I like eating. I enjoy walks and bike rides.

This is the web page where I have my short films in case you are interested:

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

Trying to be as humble, kind, quiet as possible, and to learn every day from everything I can.

I heard once this quote, and it has sticked in my mind: "never waste a good idea, no matter from whom it has come."

What I Can Share with Hosts

Smiles, stories, some tips and things from Mexico, a good chat, you can find a friend on me. If possible I could cook some mexican food.
