In order to do this right, we need new names.

I believe I'm an easygoing person, kind and festive would also describe me. I would like to say I love to engage in conversation from arts to politics, seeking to acquire a broader perspective of the world we live in by experiencing it as much as possible.

Physically, I'm 32 yo, born and raised in Mexico (North America), though, I've also lived in Central and South America. Mixed-race, I've been told that I look ethnically Arab, Mediterranean, and even Brazilian, for whatever that means.

Professional-wise, Environment, Geography, Biotechnology, and Economics would do the trick. Even though I have some private sector experience, I'm more inclined to academics nowadays.

Some hobbies of mine are reading, listening to music, dancing, swimming, cooking, learning languages, and recently kettlebells.

I'm always up for a cup of coffee, a glass of wine or a mug of beer.

Passion. Peace. Performance.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think that I can find hospitality and kindness in the world.

For me, having the opportunity to travel abroad, and in this case, being hosted by locals is the best experience you can get. They may know plenty about the city and surroundings to transform your experience into something more meaningful. Hopefully, you will remember it forever. Having someone open their home to you is an unmatched experience. Sharing a meal, a drink, or just a conversation fills your spirit in a way that makes you more confident about the world.
Also having the opportunity to make new friends in an international context, is pretty cool. I think that is a small world after all.
