CURRENT MISSION: To give a hand ABOUT ME: Born and raised in Mexico Grass-fed and grown in California. Average introvert guy. Mid of the road between crazy and quiet. I think of myself as very open minded and always willing to try new things. I enjoy intellectual conversations as much as a dancing/drunken night.

Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing

1) I love the feeling of being a local for a day or two. When I am not traveling, I love hanging out with travelers to feed off their traveling energy.

2) I've met amazing people through Couchsurfing.

3) I cherish the idea of implicit trust (to me it is a leap of faith / traveler honor code)

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

Tons of things, but the most amazing one was walking El Camino de Santiago. You basically walk from the France/Spain border all the way to the top western corner of Spain, until you can't walk no more into the Atlantic Ocean. It takes around one month to reach the last town, Finisterre (end of earth), which back in the day was believed to be the last city before the nothing...

A couch, local knowledge, stories, laughter and drinks. If you come on a weekend then we can go explore / party and I can be your guide!
