Nací y crecí entre los matorrales y pastizales de Sonora, México, frontera con Arizona, mis padres decidieron emigrar a E.U. cuando terminaba la preparatoria en México. Continué con mis estudios universitarios en Arizona. Terminé mi carrera con un Bachelors', sin embargo lo verdaderamente mío es el arte, la música, el viaje. En mi andar por la vida me enamoré de una Jarocha y decidimos unir nuestras vidas en la ardiente ciudad de Mexicali, donde ahora escribimos nuestra historia llenas de amor y aventuras! Bienvenidos a formar parte de ella!

I was born and raised between the chamizos and cactos in the Sonora Desert, Mexico, next to the border with Arizona. My parents decided to migrate to the U.S when I was finishing high school in Mexico, so I continued with my college education at Arizona. I pursued my B.A. in Psychology, but my thing is music and arts. During my lifetime I fell in love with a Jarocha (Veracruz Port-Southern Mexico Coast girl), she's mad about movies and philosophy. Now we are studying our second carrer in Sociology, which has changed our lives and perception of the way we see the world. Together, we decided to join our lives in Mexicali (border with California), where we are writing our love and adventure story, you are welcome to be part of it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Nos gusta hacer sentir a nuestros Surfers como en casa, tratamos de darles comodidad, seguridad, y toda la información que necesiten, nos preparamos con anticipación para ello, así como nos gusta recibir lo mismo de nuestros Hosts. Usualmente planeamos nuestros viajes con antelación, elegimos los lugares que deseamos visitar, pero estamos abiertas a recibir recomendaciones y cambiar nuestras rutas para adaptarnos tanto a nuestros tiempos como a la disponibilidad de nuestros hosts.

We love to make our guests feel like home, giving them comfort, secure and provide all the information they might need. We like to get ready for each guest that come into our house. Same way we like to receive the best from our hosts; but we don't like to bother. We usually plan our trips with anticipation, but we are willing to adapt to change conditions according to our host time and availability.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
We have been traveling around Mexico and Central America. Our goal is to know our own country, get involved in our cultural roots so we can relate and teach about it to people from other cultures. In the next couple of years we will be heading to South America to get the most experiences from people of those places, then get prepared in language, and learning about culture to travel to Europe and the rest of the world!

Hemos hospedado y hemos sido hospedadas en diversos puntos de México, Estados Unidos y Centroamérica por personas con los que hemos conectado nuestros intereses, quienes se han quedado en nuestro corazón. Hemos conocido sus historias, escuchado sus relatos y compartido las nuestras. Hemos organizado reuniones CS en nuestra terraza, hemos asistido a las reuniones locales, hemos participado en los CS Baja Weekend anuales.
Couchsurfing y sus feligreses han sido una experiencia inspiradora para seguir viajando y recorriendo el resto del mundo!

Nuestra meta es recorrer y descubrir nuestro País y empaparnos de nuestra cultura, continuar hacia América del Sur para conectar nuestras raíces, conocer Norte América, y prepararnos en idioma e historia para después viajar a Europa y el resto del mundo!
