Hey,

I'm Nicolás (accent on the a matters) - if you want to, you can also call me Nico. I'm from Mexico, and yes, that means that I can make delicious food for you (or try to).

I'm really into the arts, I love films, photography, writing, reading, playing music.
I have a huge interest in conversations about anything, really. Whether it's about dogs or philosophy, if it's good, I'm in.

I do have my moments when I need my own space and become quiet, this is just for my thoughts.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love travelling and am planning to travel a lot during the next few years (and hopefully a lifetime). I like learning about culture in a non-touristic manner and this seems like the perfect way to do so.

Interests

Music (both listening to and playing), horology, videogames reading, movies (a lot), traveling and knowing more people.

I really like learning new things about anything as I highly value knowledge. So, anything you can teach me, I'll be grateful.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Won a National Geographic contest with one of my pictures.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a language teacher, so I can actually teach you some spanish (or some english). And if there's an instrument around such as a ukulele or a guitar or piano then I can play for you and teach you a few chords. You might even hear my terrible singing :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share about my experiences over the world, talk about (pretty much) everything, specially when there's coffee, tea, whiskey or beer. I offer my Mexico, my home. Not only the turistic side, but how we really live, the places we go to, what we drink, the music we listen to, what we enjoy.
