I have been living with my girlfriend Elisa in the hills of Valenciana for about three years. Initially I came to study my master's degree in Latin American Literature at the state university but I ended up staying. Guanajuato is maybe one of the most beautiful cities in Mexico and we love it here. We both are freelancers and work from home: Elisa is a remote assistant and I am a copywriter. Before of this I use to teach Literature and History in highschool for about eight years and might want to go back some day as for now I'm looking forward for my PHD application.

We love cultures and we love to travel, we also enjoy getting to know new people and sharing a good chat, dinner or a cup of tea.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I got to be hosted in Paris and Moscow a couple of times, also in Chicago and Hiroshima once. I have hosted people from USA, Russia, Greece and England in Querétaro and here in Guanajuato. I like the experience, making friends, visiting and when possible keeping in touch. Its a good way to meet travelers, and travelers are interestig people. You're welcome to be hosted whenever you wish and I'm able to.
