About Me

I work in an NGO, Partners In Health, advocating for tuberculosis in México, el Salvador and Guatemala. I am also a professor of community health at a university in Mexico. I really enjoy geting to know people and cultures through couch surfing, been having a lot of fun :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I started CS in January 2018, as travelers. Since then we've been hosting people at our home in Mexico City. It has been an amazing experience and we've made some really good friends. The feeling of helping out someone else without any monetary transactional mechanism, except for the personal presence, is really fulfilling.

Music, Movies, and Books

Although my most cherished author is Marcel Proust, I usually tend to read philosophy, economy, sociology and psychology texts. I really like Lars Von-Trier, Aronofsky and Kubrick.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Volunteering as a physician in rural Chiapas was amazing, however I look forward to my first MSF mission!

Teach, Learn, Share

Since I’m a long-time meditator, I’d also like to participate in a meditation club and share my experience on the Vipassana tradition.
I am also a vegetarian, so I'd love to share mexican vegetarian recipes.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'd like to share a good chat with a bottle of wine. Also, we could bring some goodies from London. There's a lot of life experiences to talk about.
