About Me

At the moment I'm not accepting guests. I'm actually outside of Mexico :( will be back as soon as possible.

Lately I've been receiving a lot of requests, so please make sure you write a good request and read the whole profile, copy paste requests will be declined. :), Please if you are traveling with a friend when you send couch request, also send the CS's profile link of your companion no one likes to host faceless people.

Very friendly, not a judgemental person, I like to make friends all over the world, get to know different cultures and love to travel. My girlfriend and I have been traveling for a while to all kinds of destinations and are planing our new adventure. This time all around the world. Feel free to send requests while we are still home, because once were gone, we will be gone for a long time.

I love business and everything related to entrepreneurship, I am a veteran myself and I believe people should be making their own money instead of breaking their backs for someone else's and little to no return. I believe we're all masters of our destiny and its a very little risk compared to the rewards!

I will never ask for anything in return from hosts and guests, the only think I could ask for is to write a reference after we've met or shared together or surfed together. I think if you really enjoy someone's company you can write a few good things about them and also you learn more about yourself and see yourself through the eyes of others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's a lot better to go somewhere where you can meet locals to show you around town and its nice to have it both ways, there are places only locals can show you, make life easier and make friends in the process. I like to think of myself as a traveler and not a tourist, the point of CS is like traveling with friends one city at a time. Share food, cook together, have some drinks, enjoy and relax.

Please add the word Superman to your request to make sure you read the profile and you're not just spamming.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveling through SE Asia, the cultural shock! Sleeping almost anywhere, even on the street, eating everything and always with a smile!

Cutting the price of something over 90% in Beijing's Silk Market (I guess he sold it out of pride even though he wasn't making any profit.)

Losing a chess match vs a Greek grandmaster without knowing he was one.

Glowing plankton in Koh Lipe

I've seen many UFO's!

Travel, travel travel, is the most amazing thing money cannot buy! Hahaha.

Teach, Learn, Share

Can teach english and Spanish, I want to learn your culture, do's and dont's, your language. Business strategy, business development, imports/exports. Mexican culture and cuisine, tae kwon do, crossfit, etc!

What I Can Share with Hosts
