My name is Daniel and I'm from one of the most beautiful places of México, Guadalajara Jalisco. I consider myself as an passionate person about life, technology, future and progress. I'm anxious to meet new places, meet historical places, admire landscapes, meet the world.

I'm a friendly person who is willing to write stories with new people and share with them different perspectives of life. I really enjoy meeting new people, I think that my easy going personality has helped me to meet a lot of people and make friends for life. I like to meet people with all kinds of personalities but especially the crazy ones.

I've thought all my life that we come to this world to make experiences, and the best way to get them is travelling.

I studied science and communication resources but my real passion in life is cinematography, so while I was studing I complemented my college with a few diplomas, such as professional photography, audiovisual production and cinematography appreciation.

I would like to share with you some of my passions, so I'll put some links of my amateur work.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Everyone makes his own worldview based on which places they have been, the people they have meet and also their experiences and I think that by travelling you can get all this things, so I would like to expand my understanding of life by travelling to places and cultures that are totally different than mine.

I'm about to make my dream come true, make a trip to Europe with my best friend, Joe "chiva" Valero (https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/joevalero), since we met 10 years ago we speak about how cool would it be to travel together, so finally it's comming true, our trip will last 3 months and we will visit at least 23 cities, we are planning to use trains (if you can give us some tips it would be very helpful).

We chose couchsurfing because it would be very cool to make friends from all around the world, and there's anything better than having friends showing you their city and the places where they like to go.
