About Me

I used to be professor of Physics and Math in a University. While I had on myself the desire of being a singer. Suddenly one day, as it could have been any day before, I decided to quit my job and invest all my savings in doing what ever it was needed to conquer my musical dreams. You could google us as RWR Rockwell Road, or on youtube as RWR The Series.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

First of all because I enjoy knowing people, but also because from Sep 2013 to Sept2014. Along with my band we did an extraordinary tour all over Mexico playing our own songs, without any money backup but with the help of many people that understood our statements of defying rules and delivering every single thought, emotion and effort to accomplish a dream. And it that experience Couchsurfing played a fundamental role, It was through it how we get to many of these people that today I can call friends.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Without any other option we travelled all over Mexico (a country which many say is at war) in bicycle to share our music. It take us almost a year but we were capable of traveling 13,000 km, giving 370 concerts on 120 cities. Without a money backup, only with the desire and the help of many people identified with our ideals.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach about music and how is the reality for an independent band.
I'm eager to learn always, is something I love.
I would like to share our music, our dreams and the desire of never giving up. there will be always hard times, but if you have faith life will prize you sooner or later.
