Howdy! I am Pepe Mazcorro, I spent almost 20 years as a scientist in the field of Microbial Ecology. Nowadays I am a businessman, an English teacher, and a philanthropist that simply believe in the potential of human beings. I am involved in small little things (literally, like the cricket farm) and I constantly invite others to get involved in whatever feeds their souls.

If you want you can read about me in my personal website: https://sites.google.com/site/josefgarciamazcorro/home and follow us in social media (https://www.instagram.com/rincon_de_farolillo/).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In August 2018, I visited Leipzig, Germany, for a Symposium on Microbial Ecology, and I found couchsurfing while looking for a place to stay.

Music, Movies, and Books

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have done several incredible things (at least for me) in the mountains surrounding Monterrey Mexico.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have some reccomendations of my own just in case.

What I Can Share with Hosts

For only 100 pesos the night (not mandatory but highly appreciated), a nice place to stay in a quiet private neighborhood in the city of General Escobedo NL Mexico: https://sites.google.com/view/proyecto-opertum/actividades/farolillo. The fee is small but its impact on the maintenance of the property is huge. GRACIAS.
