CURRENT MISSION

Impressing myself with simple facts in life

ABOUT ME

I'm a 32 chilled-out Mexican gay guy who enjoys traveling and making new friends. I created my profile because I want to give someone visiting my country the chance to get impressed with the Mexican culture, heritage and hospitality. In the same way, I want to meet wonderful people and make friends all over the world, that is something that you cannot easily get on a pre-paid tour or excursion.

In addition, I also think it's great and interesting to find someone to host you in a city you have never been before and even to have the chance to connect with a totally different experience of the meaning of "traveling".

People say I'm a friendly and responsible guy and I would add gentle and respectful :)

One thing I really enjoy in life is traveling! It's because of my personality and my work (I'm a Human Rights activist particularly focused on HIV and Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights) that I've had the chance to visit so many cities in different countries... I would say that I've been in many more countries compared to average for a young person from my country, so I'm a lucky guy and I'm thankful about it.

More into my daily life in Mexico, I like swimming... that's actually the sport-practice that I really enjoy doing even if I'm currently a gym kind of guy; I also like thrillers and horror films even if they are a flop, so I just realized that I like the idea of getting scared ;) I also like literature, mostly historic novels and social essays; I use to spend much time with my family and having fun with friends... you know, having drinks or visiting a museum. Indeed, my friends are just like my second family.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I firstly join to CS because many friends of mine recommended it as a great platform to meet people, with the added value to host someone at home or being hosted in a new city. I know it's quite average, but then after my first CS experience (in Rome), I realized that CS is actually a space to exchange life experiences, to get new friends all over the world and to really have a good chance to discover the essence of a city, that is to go one step further then a simple tourist in a new place.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can show my lovely city (Puebla) share some time with my friends and considering that Mexico City is 2 hours far from home, we can have a 1 or 2 days tour around Mexico City. I used to live in Mexico City (DF) for 8 years, so I can manage to find a place to stay with one of my closest friends there.
