Hello
My name is Herminio Menchaca, I am from Mexico, an industrial designer but I am currently living in Kyoto, Japan, I am doing a technical program supported by JICA (Japanese Government Organization) "Traditional Japanese Craftmanships".

I like art, design, music, books and nature. I like going to museums. I am big fan of asian culture and also of asian food.

I must describe myself as an "creative, easygoing, funny person"

I am a visual person so if you want to know more about me I have instagram: http://instagram.com/herminiomenchaca

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I have heard about Couchsurfing for a long time ago and some friends have stayed with couchsurfers and they shared incredible experiences, it is always better to know a city by a local person and I think it would feel less touristy.

It is quite interesting to share ideas, cultures and ways of thinking among locals, I guess people who joined to couchsurfing have the same interest than me.

兴趣

I am a creative person, I am interested on:design, art, fashion, photography, books, nature (I am a big fan of the forest) waterfalls, lakes rivers etc, it is nice to be close to the nature.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

For me traveling alone and a backpacking trip has one of the most amazing things I have done, going by your own and travel in a foreign country is really cool.

教，学，和分享

I think we you talk with someone you can learn so much about you and also share about where you come from, in this case I can share my culture and how Mexico really is. Wonderful traditions, crafts, music, food and history.
