About Me

Currently I´m writing my bachelor thesis in a chemical company in Germany (Merck KGaA) finding best ways to clean wastewater from some dangerous toxicants. I've been living in Germany for almost two years, having the opportunity to travel around Europe and meet some amazing people and places.

I consider myself as a friendly, reliable and easy going person. Be a good listener it's really important to me. Always on sharing and receiving ideas, thougts and ways to see life. Learn and enjoy the world the most I can it's what I want to do with my life.

This is my favorite quote and my philosophy of life:

"What is really good is to fight with determination, embrace life and live it with passion. Lose your battles with class and dare to win because the world belongs to those who dare to live. Life is worth too much to be insignificant".
Charles Chaplin

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I began surfing couch's since last March (2014) and now I just can't stop surfing.
All my experiences have been positive, all of them totally different. But I can say that in Couchsurfing you will have the chance to meet lots of people really honest.

Once I gave a chance to Couchsurfing I met a new, different and exciting way of traveling that I want to keep doing. With no doubt I will became a hoster when I come back to Mexico.

Interests

I'm addicted to travel, no doubt. Meet new people totally different to me it's always exciting.

I'm a soccer fan, prefer to play instead of just watch it.

My interest in photography and poetry it's growing really fast, I just need some time to go deeper into it.

Once a tried snowboard, climbing and hiking seems like them will be with me from now and so on.

There is a beatiful lake near to the Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany, with a gorgeous view; I was there with one friend and nobody else in the surroundings...so quiet, calm and relaxing. Suddenly starts drizzle and the calm was so extreme that you could hear the drops hitting the lake.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach spanish and share something about my culture which is really rich. I love to cook, Mexican food of course.

I want to learn as much as I can about different cultures, customs and ways of living.

What I Can Share with Hosts

If my host have time to hang out I´ll do my best to have fun together. I know that sometimes is not possible to hang out but there´s always the opportunity to have a good conversation and share some good energy.

Also, I try always to give something to my hosts as gratitude.
