I am a silent film pianist and multidisciplinary artist, love all-things-art-like / all-things-nature. My specialty is the music for the silent films, music and film studies. Obsessive defender of cultural rights, gender social-equality and digital literacy. Free software advocate and coder. It is lovely if we find hacks to provide well-being for us and others.

Always jumping from the piano to the computer, LOVE TO TRAVEL; LOVE trekking; I have a long time wonderful girlfriend and feel very very fortunate about all this ;) I HATE INEQUALITY AND ANY FORM OF VIOLENCE IN ANY CONTEXT.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Me and my GF like to provide relaxed, open-minded space for travelers and friends, and share as much we can with others in order to contribute to this wonderful cross-cultural community of hospitality and well-being.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am an experienced couch-surfer (pre-couchsurfing.com). I have crashed at couches in two continents and recently have a place for you and me, so to contribute with this hospitality culture :) We'll be back at couchsurfing.com soon.

Interests

LOVE the XXth century + classical and avant-garde music. Free software, open culture, cultural rights, gender equality and digital literacy.

Trek, trek, trek, hike, hike, hike, mountain... I do it less than I want.

LOVE Cinema (I am a silent film pianist hehe), do tolerate Hollywood, but I do much more ART-like and historical flicks :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Have fought to do what I love the most, the way I love the most in my country and abroad.
Have trekked on glaciers.
Have built a wonderful relationship.
Have done in-depth art/culture scouting.
Have music-toured.
I pet a cactus and a female cat called Pleca.
One day I hated the macho culture I was raised into, and live expelling it from myself.

Teach, Learn, Share

Friends say I do have tons of not-always-useful information about places and culture. That's nothing special... it is my job and I can share. We have proven to be nice tourist guides whenever possible :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Independent room and total mexican hospitality.
