**FULLY VACCINATED**

I am a journalist that came to Europe to study. After I graduated, I started to travel around Europe.

I am a tidy honest person; I travel light and I like to hang out in diverse kinds of environments.

I am adaptable, I think I can learn something new from every person, situation, habit, hobby, etc.

Mondays usually are chill days for me (museums closed) so normally I do some work that day.

I usually take one day to do some sightseeing for a vlog I am doing but the rest of the days we can hang out wherever and whenever you want 😁

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A few years ago, when I was living in Bacalar, I hosted travelers and I found the experience very enriching. I have never used Couchsurfing when I travel so this is a good opportunity to do it.

Interests

Although I am not really a fanatic of any of my hobbies, I love to practice them and studying them. Also, I like to try new things even though I would not be particularly good, I think the important is to have fun.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Mmm, my journalism work is what I like the most. I have done some good investigations and most of the time a good investigation involves adrenaline, excitement, and a mental challenge.

I have done skydiving, I have traveled alone through the jungle riding my motorcycle, scuba diving, and many other things, nevertheless, nothing exceeds the rush of intense meaningful journalism working.
