About Me

I was born in Hermosillo, Mexico, lived there until I was 7 years old.
Moved to Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic.
I studied civil engineering and right now I'm doing a MSc and living at Wolverhmapton, UK.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One thing I love to do is travel, visiting new places and having great experiences.
I love the concept of Couchsurfing, sharing, knowing local people and making new friends.

Interests

I love food, trying new things and flavours.

I started practising Jiu-jitsu since October.
I love running and swimming (although I haven't done it in a long time).

Music, Movies, and Books

I have a wide range for music, movies and books.

I normally watched a lot of series, going from comedy (2 Broke Girls, The Big Bang Theory...), drama (Suits, How to get away with murder, Pretty Little Liars), sci-fi (Helix), fantasy (Game of Thrones, Constantine, Once Upon A Time, Teen Wolf) and so on... :P

Music can be pop, rock, techno and house, RnB, funk (both english and spanish).

Favourite movie genre would be horror and thrillers. I just like the suspense. But that doesn't mean I can like a good comedy, rom-com, drama or action movie.

Books, from drama and novels to fantasy, and I also read books about finance and self improvement.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I still haven't done anything like bungee jumping, para-sailing, skydiving, swimming with shark or scuba diving. But they are definitely on my bucket list.

I think if I see the whole experience of coming to live in the UK for a year, managing myself alone, that can be one amazing thing I've done.

Another thing I like to do is hiking, I've been on top of the highest mountain in Dominican Republic, it was a journey of 5 days, 3 going up and 2 to go down.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach spanish, maybe some cooking and dancing :P.

Learn, languages, culture, recipes, games.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share stories, jokes, few laughs, maybe some recipes.

Countries I’ve Lived In
