About Me

I'm a Professor of Physical Chemistry at a local University who is currently studying music, which I love (jazz, classical, classic rock), but I also have a passion for cinema, literature and traveling. Meeting different people from other countries over here in Guatemala made me realize that I haven't explored my own country that much, so that's what I want to do at the moment: travel as much as possible here and it would be great to do it with others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My two brothers have hosted lots of people and I have helped them while hosting. The summer of 2010 I made a trip for a month to Europe where I was able to meet so many different people and see much more than any guide could advise thanks to CouchSurfing. And now I'm back in Guatemala where I hope I can host anyone who comes here.
