CURRENT MISSION

To travel and meet a lot of cool, interesting people.

ABOUT ME

I am a 23 year old, independent, dreamer, and hard worker college student. I study Molecular Biology and I am pursuing a career in dentistry and if possible, a PhD in Translational Sciences. I enjoy what I study and I am passionate about science. I have always enjoyed traveling, ever since I was thirteen and went on a trip to Michoacan, Mexico. I did some traveling in Mexico while I still lived there. It was nice to get to know my country and the people. After almost six years in this country, I find myself able to continue to travel, although not as often as I would like. I enjoy meeting people of all ages and all points of view, and talk almost about anything. I believe good things come from any kind of experiences.

I have one roommate who is pretty cool and has a dog called ganner. I work part time and although school takes most of my time, I also go out to bars with friends. I like nightclubs and concerts, and hispanic "bailes". I can dance, although I could use some lessons to improve. I like to walk, and that is mostly what I do when I travel.

PHILOSOPHY

To have trust and to connect with others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I used couchsurfing when I traveled to Boston this past summer. I met three really cool guys who hosted me. I also met a pretty nice girl who showed me around the city. Overall, it was a great experience.

Interests

I would like to improve my cooking skills, so if anyone can help me I will greatly appreciate it. I enjoy reading in my spare time. I have pretty long list of books I would like to read. I enjoy engaging in conversations with strangers. They almost always share interesting stories. I like to respect and expect to be respected.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

-In my early teens, on a trip from Ciudad Juarez, Mexico to my hometown Queretaro, Mexico, I met a young Canadian traveler who shared some of his experiences hitchhiking/backpacking through the US and hoped to make it all the way to Argentina.
-The view of Guanajuato City at the feet of Pipila Monument.
-My first visit to Mexico City when I was sixteen. I had never in my life used the metro and I only had enough money to make it to downtown and back to my host's house. Wondering alone in el Zocalo and listening to stories from locals.
