About Me

I'm a Mexican 🇲🇽 Industrial Engineering student. This year I'll finish my studies at "Instituto Politécnico Nacional". This year, I was in an exchange program in Grenoble, France 🇫🇷 where I met amazing people, learned about the culture, tried different food, in summary, I lived so many new experiences that made me change the way a see life.
While being in this side of the world 🗺 I traveled at each opportunity I had; together with my friends we went from the Sahara desert in Morocco, to the Highlands in Scotland.... We traveled by bus, by plane, on dromedary, hitchhiking... And slept in so many weird places, wherever we could. Coming to Europe is one of the biggest adventures of my life.

Actually I'm not hosting anyone because I'm not in the city 😀 I'm traveling before going back to Mexico 🇲🇽 My apologies...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The idea of sharing the place with someone from another city makes me feel excited, because in that way, you get to know their habits, experiences... You always gain knowledge when talking to someoneelse.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Skiing is 🎿 one of the most amazing things I've ever done. It feels so good to have the snow under your feet and to be able to slide everywhere so easily, that's undescribable. Best experience ever ❤️

Hitchhiking all around Europe, with a tent on the back, knowing where to go, but not when you'll get there... Sleeping in the dessert, on the beach, in the forest, in the airport, in the mountains, in the bus station, in the train station, in a park, in a trailer, next to a gas station🚉... Backpacking, that's something amazing I've done.
