If I had to describe myself in one word I would say I am "passionate". I am passionate about life, passionate about my family, my job and my hometown. I was born in a little town in the western highlands of Guatemala (SOLOLÁ), and I really love it. It is an amazing place in the borders of one of the most beautiful lakes around the world: Lake Atitlan. It is a place full of nature, culture and folklore. In this place I met my wife, with whom I have a beautiful 7 year old daugther and a 2 year old baby boy

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I would like people from all over the world to visit my town, and get to know about the wonders that Guatemala has. I also enjoy meeting new people and getting to know other cultures.

Interests

I am an architect by profession, but an entrepreneur by heart. Five years ago we opened a coffee shop-museum in my hometown call it "LA CASA DE DON MEMO" (the original house of the writer of the song of my town), and since then my interest in coffee has grown a lot. Besides that, I also enjoy listening to jazz, cooking, playing soccer, photography and traveling with my family.

Teach, Learn, Share

Cultures are so different in this world and I believe that it is very important to spread and exchange them, learning from each other.
