About Me

Hey everyone!

Well im have no exactly idea of how I am but I will try to explain my self:

I have grew in a little town in México (Arandas) wich is famous for it's delicious "Tacos al Pastor" and the best Tequila in México, so I'm really into mexican food and tequila ;). After finish Highschool I moved to Guadalajara and here I 've lived for 6 years. I studied Civil Engineering always asking me why don't we really use our knoweledge and experience to create a better worl beaside of just making big constructions.

At my 4th year in University I moved to Stuttgart, Germany and there I met snow, good beers, the Alps, Schnitzel, Drindls and that germans are not the cold people everybody told me (they're really nice and cool). During my year in Germany I travel and had my first Couchsurfing experience in Austria (*felt in love of couchsurfin and the people inside*).

I came back to México to finish my degree, during this time I started to do volunteer work at TECHO (www.techo.org) with the ideal that we diserve a better word to live in. After two years I have finished my carrer and still part of TECHO's team.

A better place for everyone, maybe not today or tomorrow. But someday there will be a better place.

Teach, Learn, Share

“Each person shines with his or her own light. No two flames are alike. There are big flames and little flames, flames of every color. Some people’s flames are so still they don’t even flicker in the wind, while others have wild flames that fill the air with sparks. Some foolish flames neither burn nor shed light, but others blaze with life so fiercely that you can’t look at them without blinking, and if you approach you shine in the fire.”

E. Galeano
