This is always the hardest part to write, I guess reading my references is better :P
Both my parents are biologists so I have always been in love with science and nature, I studied Physics and Earth Science a while ago but had to stop because I had severe back problems and also, Academia made me lost a lot of interest on it as a career. I have always been addicted to music and I spend a lot of time studying the history of classical music and opera, that’s probably where my life is headed. I try to read as much as possible and
I’m always eager to learn new things to get a better understanding of the (crazy) world we live in. I’m always willing to have long, interesting conversations.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined CS to get some tips when I travelled to Prague back in 2013, I didn’t expect to get hosted without references but I was and it was an amazing experience. I have not been able to travel since then but I love hosting, so far every person I’ve met in this page has been really nice and interesting and it’s always a great excuse to rediscover my city. Even if I can't host you I'll gladly help you with as much information as you need.
I hope I’ll be able to travel again soon and meet lots of interesting hosts :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Some years ago my Geology teacher showed us a piece of the Allende Meteorite (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allende_meteorite )it may not seem like much but holding something that is older that our beautiful planet just blew my mind.

Music wise, I was completely moved to tears when the Helsinki Philarmonic orchestra played Sibelius' Fifth Symphony in Mexico City.
The first time I sang Orff's Carmina Burana and Beethoven's 9th symphony were really great. I'm an on and off choir tenor, I don't really see myself as a musician but it's really cool to be on stage every now and then.

Teach, Learn, Share

I guess my special ability is knowing a lot of things that happen in Mexico city. I'm aware of pretty much every concert that will happen in the city, everything from metal to classical. I also know a lot of museums and if they have temporal exhibitions, festivals, restaurants and funny thing to do. You can be sure I'll give a you a lot of options if you stay with me.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I work in the staff of UNAM's orchestra and I have a lot of friends in the classical world. I get free tickets pretty often.
