Overview
About Me
Just returned from a long trip travelling around USA and Europe.
Visited many different countries and learnt from the culture.
Also got a perspective from the things happening in terms of people, lifestyles, social dynamics and opportunities for development.
Trying to create a mental map of situations that people are living in other parts of the world.
Back home , im willing to host people from all over the world that have the same spirit as I, and many others that are open to be surprised by the city; its inhabitants and cultures.
A good way to rediscover the country and culture i was born with is having people with different eyes and experiences to share those impressions.
I've been hosted by amazing people and i wanna contribute to the community back so im offering a place with plenty space to sleep.

About me:
Im an eclectic, easy going person that loves meeting new people and sharing knowledge, experiences and ideas. Witty talks, Parties, laughs, having fun, a nice dinner, a nice exhibition- movie-performance-music show - festival, taking nice walks, discovering new parts of me, the city, and humanity.
My personality is extremely versatile. I have my feet on earth trying to make my life sustainable through work and contribute to culture and society. But also, im very attracted to adventures, the unknown, taking risks, and places where i haven't been; physically, and mentally.
Im curious, passionate and seeking knowledge that can make my spirit grow.
Art is what makes my life significant and what i enjoy the most.
I can be quiet also and love to share moments doing nothing, just enjoying nature, a nice landscape, and be with nature.
I try to have good sincere relationships with people.
Im an artist trying to be significant of the XXI century culture working on the field of interactive arts, and stuff related with computers and new technologies.
I can walk you through the local people and artspaces if you're curious about that.

About the place:
The place is located on the South of the city in Delegación Xochimilco, though, is in the beginning of it, to give and idea:
'Parque Ecológico Xochimilco' that used to be a big lake that surrounded the whole city is located 10 min. from the place
-Upsides:
Relax place where nature is quite easy to find and enjoy.
The center of xochimilco, is rich in popular lifestyle and traditions.
-Downsides:
Is a little far from the center of the city. (I can also help you get around is youre spending your time in center of the city roma/condesa or more touristic sites if that can be a problem. )
Place is good communicated with Periférico Av. that gets you to the 'Chapultepec' zone were Museo Nacional de Antropología e Historia is located.
Relative distances:
15 min. bus to Ciudad Universitaria (C.U.)
Mercado de las Plantas Xochimilco 20 min.
Embarcadero Xochimilco 20 min.
Estadio Azteca
Centro Tlalpan
Tren Ligero or Metro Taxqueña (30 min.)
Mexico city has a wide offer of cultural spaces with all sort of content
Place is near 'Museo Dolores Olmedo' that has a collection of Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera (if you're into that)
Many cultural spaces have the footprint in history of foreigners during the last century that came seeking asylum and decided to stay in the city and contributed to the culture.
Just contact me and let's find out!
