My name is Lis
If you are looking at my profile i means

1) I want you to host me:
I don't mean to say that I'll be the perfect guest but I am a very considerate person, I also think of me as respectful and clean. If I'm asking you to host me it's because I'm traveling alone and I prefer the company instead of an airbnb or a hotel. I'll most likely take you out for drinks with the money that I saved on a hotel, if you let me.
My interests when visiting a new city are not to go to take a selfie in the touristic locations. If I'm going to a new city I already have an idea of what to do because I like to discover the secrets it holds so extensive research was made. I will find the anti-touristic places to visit. And of course, I'll ask for your recommendations on local bars and restaurants. Etc..

2) You want me to host you:
If so, please have in mind that I live "divided" between México and Barcelona. This means sometimes I might forget to change the dates and be in a different place. But do write to me, I'll answer as fast as I can.
Please be as a considerate a guest as you can be.
If you want hosting in Mexico I think you'd like to know that I have two dogs; in case of allergy or anything. Don't worry, if you are not a dog lover, after meeting Elvis and Remi you will be, they are awesome.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I prefer the company instead of an airbnb or a hotel, meeting locals is the only real way to get to know a new city. Because instead of looking at a map all the time, you can experience the world through their eyes.

Interests

Music and Concerts:
I will most probably be in your city because of a concert
(I'm not saying I'm a groupie, but yes a concert freak, they are I think an addiction to me)

Photography:
I'm a photographer. It's my passion and I'm very lucky to have found a way to make a living without betraying that.
What kind of photography? Film photography gives me goose bumps (if you are in Mexico ask me to show you my dark room and I can explain why)
I believe I have experienced all kinds of photography, since school, trying to find my style, but hey, that's what experimenting is all about.
So, will you let me make you a portrait?

Reading between the lines:
A city holds many many things (besides fascinating new people) I believe it has secrets on the cements. And those secrets explain how things were once. I love trying to read between the lines of a new city, that's why I get so intense about where I want to go. Because I actually need to!
You can help me discover your city, two heads are better than one!

• concerts
• traveling
• music

Music, Movies, and Books

Such a complicated answer.
Music:
Everything is welcome! If you go through my music library you will see that I mean it when I say "everything"; from gregorian chants to death metal, from opera to new wave synthpop; from classical to basically anything... yes there are even reggaeton songs that I enjoy.
Exceptions to the rule of course, but even with my exceptions I'm flexible.
I HATE COLDPLAY and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, you can ask me why (or not)

Movies:
What happened to movies tho?
I'm not saying that there are not awesome contemporary ones, Tarantino, Lynch, Von Trier, Wes Anderson, BUT, most of my favorite ones are made more that 50 years ago.
1) SVENGALI
2) Blonde Venus
3) Everything Hitchcock
4) Everything Fritz Lang
5) Chucky
Yes Chucky.
