Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
make others happy at the time I'm be able to enjoy it.
ABOUT ME
I'm a person who likes meeting people from everywhere. I've participated in different organizations involved in social activities. My likes are wide but mainly photography and architecture, dancing, reading, nature and travel (cultural cities) and open to discover more... I enjoy learning more languages and the diversity of cultures/ways of life. I offer always a smile but you may be sure I will tell you the true about what I think. Thats basically me, one guy who over everything put a big effort in keep good friendship relations.
PHILOSOPHY
Take as much good things from everyone and everything; and from the parts you consider bad.... (nooooo, don't throw them away), take them as a nice experience and maybe you can get involved in something you didnt know it could make you happy.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
well... now i try to be as active as possible around the differnt activities... like to enjoy with people and show others the different possibilities of the sites... helping in groups and if possible helping travelers to feel more comfortable and confident
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have participated in organizations of voluntary service or other stuff before, then I met different friends and we couch or surf at my place or theirs several times. Now as a couchsurfer I have the feeling that we have the chance to meet more people with a lot in common, and not only traveling but more, the spirit of having good experiences around with partners from the local city or other travelers.
Interests
Photography. Just no words, then you shall come here to see my pics (but I'm not proffesional, it is just for fun)
Music. (specially music of the world, I would say traditional but not only on the old type)
History,I love interchange and read more about history of every place (i'm quite involved in Greek and Medioeval, appart of course of Mexican history)
Hiking. I like nature and walks
Traveling. Of course I know one important part if you are here, is traveling. But I like long walks around old cities, where I can apreciate architecture and have the chance to make a good pic, and of course meeting people from the place and share a drink.
Going to stadiums to support my teams (I played "American Football" and I´m still in love with the game). I went to the Olympics in Greece and twice in CentroAmerican and PanAmerican Games in Mexico City. When i have the chance I make the combination of traveling and enjoy sports
Dancing.- even when salsa is maybe my favorite, I can agree for going to other kind of music... pop, rock, regae etc.. something that makes move for a while (or for a night)

Chess
Cooking
