Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined when I was in my exchange semester in Czech Republic because I wanted to travel as much as possible while being there. I like to explore around and know more about the history and culture of countries and places that I've never been to. I'm not a well ubicated person and when I travel I get lost easily, but I guess that's part of the experience. I'm a person who will never feel ashamed about asking for an address or an advice.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm Mexican and I have to admit that I love latin rythms such as cumbia, salsa and reggaeton haha.

When I was in primary school my dad always took me there in the morning and thanks to those
thousands of mornings in the car I have a big influence of the music he likes, for example Earth wind & fire, America, Whitney Houston, Bryan Adams, Barry Manilow, Queen, Rod Stewart, The Beatles and so on.

On the other hand I have the musical influence of my mum! She likes regional music just like trova . Whenever I cook with her we listen to mexican regional music like mariachi, banda, etc. Or... classical music. My favorite piece is Nessun Dorma from Turandot of Giacomo Puccini.

I'd say that I'm open minded when it comes to music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to Puerto Escondido, Mexico on the Pacific coast and swam with dolphins in their natural habitat, there were hundreds of them about 5-10 meters from where I was, it was wonderful although we had to return to the boat quickly because the guide saw that there was a water snake not that far from where we were swimming.

Teach, Learn, Share

I know that in all languages there are local expressions and jokes and I enjoy sharing Spanish ones. If we meet someday I'll definitely teach some Spanish to you.

I'm not a master in Chinese, but I really enjoy learning it. I think that their written language is totally connected to the Chinese culture. I'm always willing to share what I know about it and of course I like learning about other languages.
