My name is Oscar and I am from Mexico. I studied International Relations and then Business Administration.
I love photography, reading books, traveling, learning languages and meeting new cultures and people.
Well, I hope to see you soon!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to meet interesting people from all around the world and I like to help travelers while they are discovering our beautiful country and town. I think it is important to find people that can help you and show you the surroundings when visiting and meeting the culture from a new place in the world.
While traveling I have found people that gladly have offered me to stay in their homes, those have been wonderful experiences to me and I hope to be able to give a little bit of that to visitors too.
