About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Build bridges among people and ideas to construct a better world

ABOUT ME

I consider myself easy to get along with, open-minded, flexible and adaptable, enjoying the present moment. I like to enjoy the current experience without feeling pressured to rush on to the next. I normally keep a low profile and use my intuition while meeting new people.

PHILOSOPHY

I think happiness comes from the capacity to enjoy things for what they are, not for what you want them to be. Mexico City is the capital of surrealism, and it is to be enjoyed by the contrasts you find every day and every corner turn.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Its been great to hang out with the community but my experience is still a bit limited to be honest; a number of my best friends and my brother always recommended me to join and finally here I am. Mi casa es su casa en Ciudad de México.

Interests

Hiking & biking, dancing and live music, visiting art galleries and museums, photography, good books and discovering new things even in the most familiar landscapes.
