Hola!
My name is Raziel from Tapalpa, Mexico.

I am a graduate student.
I'm interesting in local living and travel experience. Wanna know how the people Do+Eat+Fun each place. I don't like tourist area and big city. Bike riding is my favorite way to touch local living and greeting to local people, road trip to local residence area also super like.
Love to be solo traveler, can be flexible, be myself and relax, but no one share travel cost. :(

I recently opened a small fashion atelier at home where I make some garments, I also work in a hotel but only during the weekdays, I have the weekends free to relax and release stress.
I used to live in Guadalajara before but when the pandemic started I decided to travel to Tapalpa for a vacation. I liked it so much that I decided to stay and now I have been living here for 3 years.

I like cats, dogs and animals
I also enjoy a lot to read, paint, watch some good movie or serie. Open minded I'm gay #I don't have problem to host any kind of people. So let's respect each other.

•I was in a fashion reality show.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to make friends especially foreigners, because I could get so many different stories from the culture which i am interesting in. Moreover in the future I will become a bilingual teacher, so that I think I should hand out with local more.

I can also teach you about my culture, stories or typical things from the region. I like to talk about any topic and learn about many things. I think we all have something we can learn and teach.

My place is not a big tourist area. There are no tourist especially during weekdays. You will see local people, local food, local living and different experience.
