Overview
About Me
I am a musician from Mexico, travelling and busking since 3 years ago, when I quit a really boring job to became a street singer in Mexico City. Great decision: currently I am living the dream, doing what I love and getting to know a lot of cool places and people.
Open-minded, easygoing, love food, nature, books, movies, beer, pizza, and large conversations about anything, especially science, philosophy, enviroment, history... subjects i know nothing about, basically. I appreciate a calm night having dinner but i also enjoy a wild party from now and then, especially if it involves dancing. I love laughing. If by any chance reincarnation is actually a thing, in other life i hope i could be a stand up comedian, or a linguist, or even better, both. For now i'm happy with who i am, and i am always learning and growing. Did i mention i love food? Nothing better than tasting the typical dishes of each place i visit.
I love to meet people from all around the world and ask a lot of questions about their culture and ways of living, and i get really excited when i know somebody from a country i've never been before.
Note: I receive a lot of couch requests, so please do not send me one unless you have read my full profile, including the home section. Otherwise i will reject it.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I believe in sharing!
The great thing about couchsurfing is that you get to know really amazing people. It is not only about having a place to stay for free but about making new friends, so, if you host me or i host you, i would really love to spend some time with you and to have a real, fulfilling conversation.
