Hi! I'm Daniel. I'm from Mexico City. I love surfing and mountain biking, I also enjoy going to the beach, dance salsa and bachata, singing, playing guitar and practice some extreme sports (just a few). I like to travel and go to new places, meet people from all over the world.

I'm a member of Rotaract, it's part of Rotary International for people form 18 to 30 years old. We make humanitarian actions and international experiences like Students Exchanges. I've participated on reforestations, visits to orphanages and nursing homes. I have also participated in discussion forums as Models of United Nations.

I know some really good places to go out at night or hang out in Mexico City and some amazing places at the both coasts of my country!

I've travelled to serveral ecoturistic places in Mexico, such as Sotano de las Golondrianas, Xilitla (must go if you're going to San Luis Potosi) and other places in Oaxaca, Jalisco, Yucatan, Quintana Roo, Baja California Sur, Guerrero, Queretaro, Estado de Mexico and other States in my country. (BTW if you want some references or recommendations if you're coming to Mexico City, or a place I know, feel free to ask me about it).

I love going to Music Festivals!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I believe in the culture of sharing, and helping others, because we live in a world that is ours.

Love to hangout with people of different nations, share experiences, it's awesome to learn about cultures, music and food. I'm always open to possibilities.

If you have me as a guest, I'll be kind and nice with you, always be direct and respectful, cause you are opening your place to me, and I would do the same if I were the host.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can TEACH you how to dance salsa and bachata, and how to play guitar or piano. Or I can teach you how to sing a typical Mexican song.

I like LEARN songs in different languages. Or tongue twisters!

Something I can SHARE:
I can share my couch (or available beds in my place when is possible).
My experiences in MXCY of nightlife, where can you eat. I can share my time to hang out with you if I got time. :D

One of my hobbies is finding good places to eat, it doesn't matter if they aren't fancy, or well known, what I care is the food taste and the vibe of the place.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my nightlife experiences and good tips for you if you're coming for the first time to MXCY.

I can teach you how to go around the city and give you some advices about it, where to go, what to eat, where you can dance, etc...
