About Me

CURRENT MISSION
Never stopping being amazed by the beauty that surround us. There's still so much to learn from other cultures and nature, we just need to be willing to be surprised.

ABOUT ME
Easy going traveler who will always want to experience the places by getting in touch with the locals and their customs. Backpacker and adventurer, always in for an outdoor activity or to share some of the different traditions between our countries. I’m very adaptable and independent.

PHILOSOPHY
We’re all the results of our thoughts and actions. Everything we do, will become part of who we are. Might be for good, as well for bad. I believe we´ll always be affected for our actions, not as a rule, but as part of the energy vibes you attract and get along better.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
To all the friends that I've met and the one's that will do. THANK YOU!

Thanks to all my hosts for the kindness of receiving a stranger and dismissing a friend!

Bienvenidos! Everyone again, and of course the new ones.

A project like this proves there's still kindness and hope in our society. Feel glad to be part of it.

Interests

Always trying to be surrounded by nature, experiencing it in every possible way. Environmentalist, backpacker and adventurer. Believer that we´re just another specie of this planet and we must act like that.

Special interest on wildlife, photography and storytelling, environment, travel, different culture and traditions, and of course practicing adventure sports.

I believe there are so many things to learn about, people to meet and places to see, that this life might not be enough, so we better really enjoy the ones we have decided to meet, discover the ones you decided to visit, and never stop sharing the luck you have had while being alive.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Every moment is special at his own way. I believe that finding the balance between the adventure and the spiritual connection converts the experience from an extreme moment, to a meaningful life-time experience.... But in order to show myself a little more, let me list some good memories...

-Conquered and guided several times the Mexican highest summits. (5,700meters);(5,200meters) and most of the other peaks.

-Climbed and snowboarded Mexico´s highest peak. Pico de Orizaba(5,700meters)

-Roadtrip From Guadalajara, México, through the Baja peninsula, all the way to the Bugaboos in the Canadian Rocky Mountains. Stopping in some of the best national parks in the US, with great people, couldn't finish but in one of the best trips of my life.

-Being part of the Ol Pejeta Conservancy team in Africa. Understanding and facing real conservation challenges in the largest Rhino Sanctuary of Central and East Africa.

-Be shoulder to shoulder with the Last standing Northern white rhino in the world, amazed by his size and beauty, but ashamed of what we have done with the the wildlife.

-Backcountry camping in Denali National Park, Alaska. Definitively one of my favorites places on earth. Real wilderness experience. You dont want to screw it with so many Grizzly bears surrounding you!

We should better continue this list with a beer and a good meal in real life!
