About Me

As an Engineer, life can be forgotten because it can push you trough your job and responsibilities only, same things, same schedule, constant activities 24/7. Sad Stuff.

That's why I'm here, as just me! I want to travel the world, I'm always learning, reading and making friends around the corner. To live is very joyful if you smile. That's the golden key.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I heard about CS because my roommate was a tremendous fan of CS. Such a big fan than now is traveling the world and making me envy of all her photos. I'm just right behind her, making every step right to let me enjoy the experience of a thing called World.

I'm here also because I believe that we are beings made for sharing, learning and called to make a see out of every drop which are us. CS for me is the symbol for confidence in a very human sense. Here in Monterrey I've hosted people all over the world (Chile, US, Brazil, Mexico) and the experience has been no more than unforgettable!! :D

Interests

Here in Monterrey is one of the biggest mountain range of the country so since 2011 I've been in the Mountaineering activities every weekend and a couple of times also in the middle of the week. That's my biggest interest at the moment.

I also love swimming, mountain biking and walking all over the city.

Here we'll have a lot of fun an outdoor activities! Hosting with me is to be outside all day long, coming back to sleep and then live again making a lot of activities. That's the problem with me and my very "Intense" (common word in Mexico to label people that can't stay put) friends :D

Music, Movies, and Books

I love Music!! Here we'll always have music to cook, clean, dance and Paaaarty!

Books. That's a very difficult question. I read everything that can let me understand our imagination. Here you'll find a very large bookseller so feel free to live the experience of reading. (Half of it it's movies :D)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lived in Montreal, Canada for six months! What a Experience!

Mountaineering has gave me the biggest experience of my life when I made to the summit of the top of Mexico, "Pico de Orizaba" or "Citlaltepetl" (Mountain of the star: 5,636 mamsl)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Everything! Here you'll sign a contract, the requirement is: Be yourself! :D
