Born in Tijuana, grew up in Los Cabos, went to college in Guadalajara, and film school in Sydney, Australia.

Came back home and started in the wedding video game. Got tired of it and began doing property / real estate video. Its good money but I wasn't totally passionate about it. About a year ago, after a trip to Japan, I became obsessed with food photography. Ive been having a lot of fun and recently Ive been getting proper work from it. Something I love to do is travel and just eat. Hotel expenses can get a little crazy, hence I decided to try out couch surfing.

Im a clean, well organized guy. Always mindful and respectful of people's property. Mama didn't raise no fool :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Honestly, it helps with expenses. However, the really cool thing is to hang out and talk to locals, because they always know the best places to eat. I always like to search for the soul of wherever I travel to, and locals know where to find it.

Interests

Travel, obviously. Im a massive foodie, film buff, dog lover, tv binger, music lover (almost anything), 420, overall nice guy.
