About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Just making the planet greener ;)

ABOUT ME

I consider myself the easy-going everything-is-fine type of guy. I always try to have a smile in my face and look at the bright side of things, thus I'm always happy with what life brings me!

PHILOSOPHY

Nothing is ever so bad that you may become incapable of smiling :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Though I've never traveled using Couch Surfing, for over three years my house has been a stop for most couchers traveling through San Luis Potosí (my brother and sister are the contact). I've met a lot of interesting people and I beleive now is my time to travel the world :)

Interests

I'm really into the energy area, right now I'm doing my Master Studies in Renewable Energy Integration (and I'm loving it!). In my free time I love to read, cook, research (about anything and everything), restore old cars and build/repair all-terrain vehicles.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Every morning when I wake up and realize that I'm alive.
Every time I understand a bit more of the world we live in.
Every time I can't understand the world we live in.
Mostly, I spend my life awestruck,a nd I love it!

Teach, Learn, Share
