About Me

CURRENT MISSION

squeeze the world!

ABOUT ME

I am an architect, with a master degree in Spain and currently working in Monterrey. I consider myself creative and a very curious guy, who always get amazed by any kind of stuff. I believe family is the most important thing in life, and I love mine: I'm the youngest of 11 siblings, and my education mainly comes from them and my parents.. I love my career, I love my beautiful girlfriend, I'm an outdoor person, and I enjoy meeting people from different countries, with differents life perspectives than mine; and of course I love travelling!

PHILOSOPHY

be nice + enjoy every minute in life + find peace

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I promote a lot this site, along as the idea being part of this community... I can also offer some aid to travelers in my city.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I first knew about the website in 2007, before a trip to Brasil. My first host was Cristiana, in Rio de Janeiro.. and it was awesome!.. It was the best experience ever, and since that moment I decided to travel around the world with this amazing community. I've been hosted by more than 15 people all around the world, and I have also hosted, but fewer, people in my house. I have also played the tourist guide for other CS members that come by, and really enjoyed it!
I also attend to CS meetings in my city, always meeting new people!...
