My first best friend was half Mexican- half Yugoslavian (Yeah, it still existed in those days). His mother used to take him to visit their relatives in Sarajevo every year during the summer and taking advantage of the trip, they would normally go to some other countries to tour around. A few weeks after these travels I would visit him and he'd show me all these photos (Palpable ones in physical albums of course. :p) of them in Greece, Italy, Israel, Germany, France, etc. I've always perceived myself as a curious person but those photos powered up my curiosity, they fed my desire to see the whole world! I was just a little boy but since then I always knew that one day I'd leave Mexico and I'd be able to fulfil my dreams.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My curiosity hasn't been diminished throughout the years. I enjoy learning new things everyday about any subject; The human mind, culture, traditions, nature, you name it. Recently I met what you could call a "Couchsurfing ambassador" and he spoke so highly about his experience in this phenomenon that I decided to try it out myself.

Having traveled around quite a few cities in Europe, whenever I've done it alone, I've always enjoyed the experience more if I end up meeting somebody that lives there and knows the place. I love to have a glimpse at how it would be to live in the cities I visit. I'm really interested in the potential cultural exchange involved in Couchsurfing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once upon a time... I realised I didn't like bragging. :p

Teach, Learn, Share

I've been teaching voice acting at an academy for over two years so I can try to teach you how to pronounce some words or phrases in Spanish in a proper way if it's not your native language. :)

I'm open to learn whatever you wanna teach me about you and your country and I'll share whatever I can from my experience and perception of life as a Mexican living in Spain which include what I know about both cultures, cuisines, wines, beer and spirits. ;)
