CURRENT MISSION

Re-adapting to sedentary life.

ABOUT ME

I have reinvented myself several times, well, going back and forth with different professions, living here and there.

The last 15 years of my life in a few sentences:

1. Study Mechanical Engineering in Monterrey, Mexico.
2. Joined oilfield services company and worked in Angola for 2 years.
3. Quit oilfield company to study photography in Barcelona, Spain.
4. Study for 3 years and worked for another 3 years as a photographer in Barcelona.
5. Got tired of easy life and decided to go back to the oilfield as an engineer.
6. Since being backin the oilfield I have worked in Angola, Congo and Gabon, looking forward to go out of Africa sometime and see other parts of the world!
7. Latest Update, I moved back to my hometown, Oaxaca!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am happy to help everybody who wants to go out, share my experiences and knowledge in any way I can. I like to meet new people and go out for a drink, dinner, lunch, parties, etc.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I have been able to meet other CS people and spend some time with them either going out or showing them my city. I also met some other people while I was traveling, is great to meet locals, completely different experience when you can hang out with somebody who lives in the place you go.
