Overview
About Me
Hello Couchsurfers! I'm a Mexican guy from Morelia, Michoacán, Living in Mexico city now but I consider myself simply as a citizen of the world.
My main passions are learning about different cultures, meeting new people and places and take the best out of each situation.
I was working as a Volunteer for 10 months in Poland, where I was living with more than 30 people from around the world and I learnt a lot about these amazing people. When you have an experience like this, your awareness of empathy, respect, love and tolerance amongst people changes and expands because of their different backgrounds, education, culture, language, careers and other unique attributes.
I have a background in Biochemistry, agricultural and environmental sciences. I like to hike, go biking, look for the little details that are always there when you look closely, and ahh! explore the world.
I like museums, local artists, architecture, UNESCO world heritage sites, and natural landscapes. I like to party sometimes, drink (no smoking), but it's always with moderation. I like to try all kinds of food from sweet to umami, I think the best way to get know another culture it's by it's food :D
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I want to see the world and experience it in the most authentic way possible (I think meeting the locals and getting to know their inner culture is one of the keys to archieve it).
I'm on Couchsurfing to meet people from around the world so as to become more open minded and culturally sensitive and aware. I want to make the world a healthier, happier and more pleasant place by reducing ignorance and misinformation about other peoples and instead spread awareness, cultural sensitivity and respect.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Only one? mmm well, Traveling to Europe for the first time and watching the real snow in Switzerland, that was impressive!!
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach you Spanish, you can teach me your language and if it's French, we can practice because I love that language!!
I'm always eager to learn anything, from technology to human relations, I like to listen and in a way I get to learn from people's stories.
Share: I always think, the more you share, the more you have, the feeling when you help someone in need is always comforting for me.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I can share tips on how not or how to get lost ( If you are an adventurer) about some places I've visited, also I can share stories that are going to make you chuckle or reflect, also share some "skills" at the kitchen with some mexican dishes and cakes!
I'm a neat person and I like to clean things so I guess it could count as sharing responsibilities?
