CURRENT MISSION

Carpe diem for myself, laissez-faire for others.

ABOUT ME
Right now I am an international student living in Aix-en-Provence, France. Trying to learn about myself and others.
I'm a person constantly craving for new experiences, I love interacting and meeting new people as well as learning from other cultures and offering mine to the world. I'm open and always fight for equality wherever I go, I like being deep but also live the moment the simple way.

PHILOSOPHY

“How can you say you love one person when there are ten thousand people in the world that you would love more if you ever met them? But you’ll never meet them. All right, so we do the best we can. Granted. But we must still realize that love is just the result of a chance encounter.” -Charles Bukowski.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Meet ups, posting, touring.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Back in Mexico I volunteer for the NGO TECHO, where we work to address the poverty issue in Latin America.
I had the chance to be part of the First International Program of Mexican Volunteers in Honduras for a couples of weeks, living in a rural community in Lepaterique.
Last summer I was part of the Mexican Delegation in Istanbul during the Youth Summit of the G20, the most important economic forum in the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

I don't have much but I can share some nice Mexican dishes, helping with Spanish, English or French or just a nice chat. For me it would amazing as well to learn about new cultures straight from a local.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Once back in Mexico I would love to start my couchsurfing experience as a host and for me it would be a pleasure for me to share and show the Mexican culture as a local.
