About Me

I love to travel, eat and drink, get to know new people and places. I consider I have a very good humour (sometimes kind of dark jaja), I usually laugh and smile a lot. I enjoy having good philosophical conversations as well as going out and party all night long. I am a music and literature fan. I like going outdoors and find silence in nature every once in a while. And of course I am chef, cooking is my thing, so we won't suffer from that, I promise. I'll make the best goddamnmotherfuckingrealtacos you'll ever have #goddamnmotherfuckingrealtacos. So that's me, a smily passionate guy who wants to know the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think it is a great opportunity for people who want to travel. And when I say travel I mean the real thing, not just going to famous places, taking selfies with the Mona Lisa or the Eiffel Tower. But to get in touch with the locals, the real men and women who truy live the experience, that's the best of it. Becoming part of the culture, having breakfast with the one that knows best. Opening yourself to a different world. Having the opportunity to share your background, who you truly are. Learn from yourself, learn from others. That's the thing. Enjoy and have fun and of course make longlasting national and international friendships. It is a great feeling to know that there is someone far far away that can give you the hand when you need it.

Interests

I enjoy new experiences and I am open in terms of interests. I am versatile, whatever you do, you can enjoy it, it is a matter of will. So there you go, let's get lost in the middle of nowhere and smile for the unknown.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to a beautiful desolated mexican beach once and stayed there for month and a half. I felt very relief, happy and free. I slept on the beach and woke up in the next morning. Rode my bick, hitchhicked and ate wonderful seafood, it was great.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know how to cook, how to write, how to play the drums, guitar and bass. I am a native spanish mexican slang speaker who also knows english and a little bit of french. I enjoy sharing what I know and I am also willing to learn from others.
PD: Recently I made a batch of homebrewed beer :) that's a good thing too.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Food, that's the thing. My culture and myself. What I love, what makes me laugh and give a little of Mexico to the rest of the world (I even have a chilli tattoo jaja, true mexican) We are spicy, don't forget that.
