ABOUT ME
(Facebook : Raul Hernandez Baez )

I am a mexican sagitarius dreamer and computer engineer. I grew up and lived in Mexico city till I was 15 years old. Then i moved to Boston Massachusetts to study high school when I was 16. Now I have lived in Vilcabamba-Ecuador ,Valley of Longevity, for the past 9 years. It is a beautiful little town in the middles of the Andes . It is so pretty here. Nature, horses, my own organic garden and a great variety of fruit trees, not many people , its just a paradise here. I got divorced 3 years ago and i have been traveling since. I have travelled around Ecuador, Colombia, Mexico, Brazil, Peru, USA, and now I am heading to Europe and Asia. I will end up in Mexico with my family for the Mexican independence day. I've been a volunteer with the Missionaries of Charity of Mother Teresa since i was 2 years old. This has given me a lot of sensitivity and love for the others. Learn how to respect some one else's home , family and ways of living. Learn from everyone you meet, and never leave their house with out leaving a smile on their face at least one time to every member.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My favorite part about traveling is getting to know new cultures and different ways of living the life. Im a bit new to couch surfing, all though I've been doing this method all of my life , even before this website. I have lots of friends all over the world , because I've always had international guests travelers in my house since i was 5 years old. Im very used to it and i love it. During this trip im going to see many of them and I am looking forward to meet some new friends along the way.

Interests

I love cooking , nature, adventure, outdoor sports, hiking, traveling ,photography, biking but most of all meeting new people to share knowledge about this matters. Getting to know new good friends that can teach me how is that people live in the other side of the world. This just fascinates me!!
