About Me

Mexican guy living in Spain for 5 months, with the goal of visiting 13 european cities before February '16. I consider myself as a permanent culture and knowledge seeker, very easygoing and social, so it won't be hard to get along. I've always been in contact with people from all around the world, so I got this natural curiosity to know others' perspectives; i'm definitely a world citizen.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Mostly because of ultra-low budget travel. Some of my friends from other countries told me the good experiences they had using the site, so that was enough for me to give it a try. As I am doing an eurotrip to more than ten cities in 3 weeks besides of the expenses of my Erasmus, this is the best option to really afford it and not die trying. Also, I'd love to know locals and their lifestyle in general.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Thru the past 3 years, I've had the chance to host and share time with people from China, Taiwan, Ukraine, USA, Canada, Peru, Brasil and Colombia, thanks to volunteering at an international ONG. With no doubt, those friendships expanded my limits and changed the way I see life; thanks to that I got the courage to apply for my international exchange and here I am, being adventurous and hopping from country to country inside Europe!

Teach, Learn, Share

Several years ago, I used to have a very closed attitude. But with time and experience, I have realized that youth is something that will never come back, so it's the time to take chances: know new people, visit new places and live new experiences. Everyone can do the same thing, but the relevance is not at WHAT you do, it's HOW you do it.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A drink, mexican culture, spanish or english lessons.

Countries I’ve Visited
