About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel around the whole world, learning and trying different cultures, traditions, food, activities and for sure, the party!

ABOUT ME

I like to travel, to meet new people, to experience different cultures and traditions, to eat authentic food from every place i visit, to talk with strange people and learn something new about them, to go and do something random that is not inside of my comfort zone.

I love adrenalin, everything related with extreme sports or redbull is cool for me: Snowboarding, skiing, skydiving, bungeeng, climbing, mountain-biking. As well normal sports like soccer, running and golf.

Attending to concerts and festivals its something I really love to do, any type of music is cool for me: popular rock bands, metal bands, hip hop, alternative, techno, everything!! I like to play electric and acoustic guitar, bass and some piano.

PHILOSOPHY

I think we live to learn and share, to help the others and to enjoy doing that. I am very interesting on all those articles, books and people that speak about enjoying life and the existing ways to follow success. One of the most important things to do every day for being a better person, is to get out from the comfort zone and I think travelling gets you to a different zone, where you must adapt and that makes us more self confident persons.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would like to host and visit people around all the world, then I can learn how they think, live and what they like to do. I would like to get to know different cultures and cities, so I will be glad to share a bit of my culture, making some mexican salsa, and cooking some mexican food. As well as making a trip around my city, visiting the best places for locals and tourists. And don't forget the good parties!!!! ((((Mexican Style))))

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Since I was living in Germany, I got the opportunity to live in a big house with 8 persons, which some of them where already CouchSurfers and I got to know about their cool experiences and also met some CouchSurfers that stayed here as well. After this, I realized that it would be so great to try this as well, then I can meet local people and not only take the tourist map or the sightseeingbus tour!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

PLEI - Programa de Liderazgo Empresarial Internacional (International Leadership Business Program)
It's a program from my University, in which you travel around the whole world, representing a mexican company, looking for clients or interested people to do business with the products of your company. This program gives you the opportunity to travel around so many places, reaching the most important and biggest companies from the city, getting in touch with so many different contacts for all types of business and this gives you a global view of how you should speak in front of all people according to their different traditions, interests and culture. Beside making contacts for business, its a trip that also makes you travel a lot, you learn so many different things, try different food, experiences, meet lots of cool people, visit the best places from each city, etc!

Teach, Learn, Share

If I visit or host someone, I will teach them how to cook some mexican food, starting with doing some spicy salsas, tortillas, and typical diches from my country. As well, would like to talk about my country, my people, my traditions and cultures. As well, I can teach spanish, english or german language, but more interesting for me, guitar playing!!!
I would like to learn different languages, from every city I visit I like to learn the basics and then try it on the streets or during party, thats something so funny, also to travel around the city with the local people, visiting a typical restaurant, monument and bar!
