My name is Mario. I'm from the second biggest city in Mexico (Monterrey), near the border with the united states. Until last year I was living in the capital (Mexico DF) where I spend 4 years getting my masters degree and working.

I love traveling but until this year I haven't been able to visit another country. In June I visited UK with some friends for two weeks, we spend one week in London and another in Glasgow Scotland, we also visited Edinburgh there. Needless to say I was hooked and I decided to travel, meet new people and places as much as I can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here because I realize there is nothing interesting in meeting new places if you don't meet new people and experience the culture of the places you visit as a local and not just as tourist passing by.

Interests

I love photography, I have almost two years researching and learning by myself everything I can. My DSLR is my travel companion.
I also love technology in general, TVs, consoles, computers, cellphones, cameras, you name it, I can give good buyers advice if you need it.

I'm a scientist so I also enjoy getting into long discussions about everything worth discussing like the universe, human behavior, economy, food, wine, beer, dogs, cats, basically anything xp

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This worries me, I'm 28 and there is nothing I've done that I'll call amazing XP

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you anything you want about technology, have a problem with any gadget, we can get it fixed. I'm also in for molecular biology but that requires a few expensive reagents.

I love to learn about everything, languages, cooking, handyman.
