About Me

ABOUT ME

Pilgrim grew up in Mexico City, people who have visited it should know how amazing it can be. Few year ago I moved to Guadalajara for university and spend there 4 years. Last year I decided to discovered the world I live in, so first of all, love took me to London and there was where my adventure began. I´m so in love with that beautiful city, I think I will always feel like if it is my second home. Beside that I also visited some other places, but not as much I would like to! I do believe that once you begin traveling it becomes an adiction. I love new places doesnt even mater where they are; every single place give us the chance of knowing something, meeting someone who can change your entire life,

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would be lovely to meet new people for all parts of the wolrd

Interests

I love design and crafts, I'm obsessed with folk; in music, objects, people, cities, etc, because I believe there is where most of the soul of things live. That's why I like big cities but I'm in love with small towns.
I also like long talks and walks, music, art, dancing...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I will always love the feeling of contemplate something unique and special for me and usual and easy for the person who is making it, like craftsmen, ambulant musicians, etc.
I visited Taxco, Guerrero, a small town with narrow streets, stone floor, all houses painted in white. When I arrived was about 12 in the night, raining, all covered with water, and the stones in the floor reflected all in yellow. The smell was so special, everything was amazing. There is something magical about this town.
Walking through Goreme's mountains, through the caves in complete silence was one of the best feelings I've ever had.
A few months ago I went to France, I felt like walking... so I made El Camino de Santiago,I climbed up the Pirineos and spend 1 month of my life walking in complete freedom until reaching Finisterre, where in medival times people believed it was where the world ended, 900 km of happines. The most beautiful experience I've ever had.
