I grew up and currently live in Guadalajara (and love it), I'm an industrial designer, freelance graphic designer, activist, volunteer, photographer, translator, bike mechanic, bass player and many other trades. Avid urban and touring cyclist, if you ride we can probably relate. I am listening to music most of my waking life. I read. I like deep people with deep opinions and passionate conversation.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy talking with people of different cultures and finding our similarities.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Argentinean Rock (¡aguanteeeeee!), Flamenco, Spanish Hip-Hop and all this new hipster rock can be really good.

Movies: I'm cheap, I enjoy movies so much that hardly ever feel I didn't like a movie, I do love Almodovar, Von Trier and Kar-Wai but also enjoy GOOD action films such as the new Bond series or the Bourne series.

Books: Galeano, García Márquez, Kundera, Borges, Cortázar, Gelman... anything that CrimethInc pulishes tends to be amazing too, read my share of the classics when I was younger, Tolstoi, Dostoievsky, Plato, Kafka, Lovecraft, Hesse, Nietzche... and I read a bunch of bestseller novels too.
