Hi there!

I'm Mateo, a 28-year-old adventurer from beautiful San Miguel de Allende in Mexico. I'm an athlete with a passion for ultra marathons, extreme sports and i trained proffesional tennis when i was younger as well. My love for pushing the limits has taken me to incredible places and had incredible experiences around the world. I hold a bachelor's degree and am fluent in both English and Spanish, and I'm also learning Scottish Gaelic and Norwegian.

Traveling is a huge part of my life. I love meeting new people and immersing myself in different cultures, which is why Couchsurfing is fantastic. It allows me to connect with locals and experience countries in a unique way. Plus, it sometimes helps with the high cost of hotels, allowing me to extend my travels.

Animals hold a special place in my heart. Elephants, whales, and wolves are my favorite, and I have a very cute Basset Hound. I also adore horses. I'm an avid reader, especially of fantasy, fiction, and detective novels, and I enjoy folklore music and music festivals. Music is a big part of my life, and I play the guitar as well.

I'm an outdoor enthusiast who loves hiking, camping, and living close to nature. Meditation is part of my routine, and I prefer spending my time in nature rather than partying. I also have a bit of an anxious side, which is why adrenaline-filled activities like skydiving, paragliding, and skywalking (my favorite!) are so close to me.

Environmental protection is a cause close to my heart. I believe in the importance of preserving our natural world. I enjoy listening to The Red Hot Chili Peppers, and my favorite movie is "The Lord of the Rings." Among the many books I've read, the "Game of Thrones" is my favorite.

Looking forward to meeting you and sharing stories and experiences!

Best,
Mateo

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because it allows me to truly connect with locals and make friends that allows me to experience countries in an authentic way. As an avid traveler and adventure enthusiast, I believe that the heart of traveling is getting to know the people and cultures of the places I visit. Couchsurfing shows the best way to immerse oneself in local life, share stories, and create lasting memories with new friends.
