Im a professional documentalist photographer. I used to be main photographer of a lot of music and night club venues in my home town. "Portraits" are my favorite genre of this art form. I run an independent, cultural, non lucrative tv project which you can find on YouTube (www.youtube.com/merida1tv). With this project, I give local artists or entrepeneurs the chance to tell to the world what they do. I've done short and long documentaries in a lot of cities such as Ciudad de México, Monterrey, Chiapas, Campeche, Quintana Roo, Paris, Madrid, Vienna, Bayreuth, Milano, Monza, Busseto, et al

I'm a little "old by spirit". My passion for classical music, opera and great arts are most likely to a 70 year old than a 37 years old guy. I'm a fervient wagnerite and at the same time, i love to have fun, dance, sing in karaoke. Since 2007 I've been working in the classical music and opera industry: I promote the art of classical music and opera to the people of my town.

Nothing will stop me from doing what I love most: sharing art

Music is the universal lenguage! never forget

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Its always cool meeting people for all over the world. I helped a couple of people when they spent their time in my city.

In Mexico i visited people from Toluca and Cancun. In Europe I spent several nights with members in Buenos Aires, Madrid, Monza and in all the cases, i made such beautiful friendships
