About Me

Architecure student in Mexico's National and Autonomous University, currently living/studying in Lisbon for a year.

I like music very much. Studied classical guitar for 6 years during high school. I was also part of a choir of young students in one of the best music schools in Mexico.

I love to talk to people and make friends. I did bike touring from Tijuana to Vancouver back in 2017 and couchsurfed for a month. It's been one of the best experiences I've had in my life.
I really love sports. I've trekked on volcanoes back in Mexico and I've also done a lot of hiking. I have competed a lot (cycling, rowing, volleyball, running). Also ran a marathon and did a 35 km open water relay competition.

I work part time at an interior design office from Mexico.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My uncle did a trip through Argentina and found the app useful. I also used and loved the app while traveling with my brother through the US west coast. I want to keep on traveling and meet new people!
