I'm Mexican, not so good at speaking/write in english, but I'm trying to not use Google translate.
I work as a freelance portrait painter and drawing teacher in my hometown which is not quite safe, that's why I not recommend to come here :(, also there is not much to do so I use to spend all my savings in travels, but I'm always trying to do things to help my comunity, either do some volunteer, art events safe for woman, baazars to make aware people from fast fashion issues, but most of the time I'm inside my house/art studio.
I'm not a party/nightclub person, I don't drink alcohol, smoke or do drugs.
I'm passionate going to museums, art galleries, vintages stores, thrift stores, supermarkets, local markets, places art related.
Not good at sports, I would love to be able to hike and climb a mountain without feel terrible at the first 15 minutes.

Meet new people from diferents places of the world is something facinating for me.
I also spend my money in music festivals or concerts especially alternative rock, I love dogs so I'm an active volunteer in a dog shelter.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I am interested in meeting people from all over the world, sharing my culture and learn from others, I love traveling, and collecting experiences, I truly believe that the best way to knew better a place is through the eyes of someone who is living there, also, honestly, my budget is quite short:(

I can help you to learn Mexican Spanish, I can teach you how to draw or paint, and for sure I will make you an express portrait while we have a deep conversation about everything and nothing.

Mexican candies, souvenirs, food, I will give you 50 reasons to visit Mexico,( except my city because I want you safe), drawing and painting express classes, I'm not very good at cooking but I can try to make some Mexican food :)
