About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learn and live

ABOUT ME

I am a kind and trustful guy. I like meeting people and even though at first I'm not very talkative, I'm much of a listener so then I can share musings thereof. I like learning.

PHILOSOPHY

It's been changing all the way through the years. I believe in karma: what goes around, comes around.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Several friends of mine have been involved in this project for some years. I find it rather interesting, useful, and cheap!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Back in 2009, I couchsurfed with an American friend who I met in Mexico and later hosted me in Atlanta. It was such a great experience. I was also hosted by a guy in New York once. He's no longer in this web-site, though. Then in 2011, I traveled to Italy. I found a place to stay in in Rome thanks to this website and I got to meet other people in different parts of the country as well, either by being hosted or hanging out.

Interests

I am keen on anything that has to do with languages and literature, as you all might have probably guessed. I'm also interested in alternative music, movies, and the like. It's sort of hard to define what my interests are in a few words, so this is just a brief explanation of what I'm enjoying doing.

  • literature
  • movies
  • socializing
  • music
  • alternative music
  • languages

Music, Movies, and Books

Now that's hard.
Fellini, Andersoon, and Cronenberg are some of my favorite movie directors, but there's a great number of others whose works I really enjoy.
As for music, I like Radiohead, Portishead, Tricky, the XX, and another ton of good bands and singers for me.
When it comes to books, it is much harder to decide which are my favorite ones. There's so many to put up in here I'd rather not mention a single one.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love my country (Mexico) so I am able to teach a little bit of the vast nation where I live in. I love languages, so any time you want me to teach you what I know in Spanish, English, Italian or French, I'll be more than glad to do so. I like to teach what I like to learn.
