I am a mexican geographer-traveler-cartographer. I wrote two books, selfpublished, the second are chronicles about my trips in Mexico and outside Mexico (specialy Balkans, Romania, Turkey and Kurdistan)
I like a lot languages, that's why my list of "languages that I am learning" is quite big. Currently I am learning Russian, I love it, I love Slavic languages.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to interact with people of the places I go and see what they eat or what do they like about their hometown. I consider myself a simple person who enjoys about the simple gifts of life (walking, taking a beer the river or the street and this kind of things). And I think CS is a good oportunity for doing this.
My first experience in Cluj, Romania, was a really nice one, so after that going in a hostel started to be boring.

Interests

As I am getting older there are some things I used to like that I don't like anymore, but in general, as I love languages when I am traveling I enjoy a lot just listening... trying to understand. In fact I am not the kind of traveler who goes to turistic places or night clubs, I am the kind of person that likes to walk the whole day around the city and just look what is happening. It might not sound exciting but I like it haha
I am not verified because to be honest it's too expensive, but I am a real person ask whatever you want haha
