About Me

I consider myself a happy person. I'm grateful for the opportunities that God has given me and I'm trying to live my life to the fullest in every aspect of it.
I love architecture and especially urbanism, and my main professional goal is to create opportunities to improve the living conditions in our cities for all the people.

“Do not settle for less than exactly what you want. Your heart’s desires are there for a reason. Chase them. Pursue them relentlessly. Do not lose sight of your goals. They are your very reason for being.”
— Franki Durbin

"La solidaridad no es un sentimiento superficial, es la determinación firme y perseverante de empeñarse por el bien común, es decir, el bien de todos y cada uno para que todos seamos"—Juan Pablo II

"No it won't all go the way it should
But I know the heart of life is good"--

"Trabajar muchísimo y vivir la vida, dar un paseo por la montaña o mirar a una persona hermosa, leer un libro, oir un concierto...que todo esto alimente mi espíritu para que su voz sea más potente. ¡Y sobre todo, quiera Dios que no me falte la santa inquietud!"

Joan Miró

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to have the opportunity to meet interesting people in the places I visit, and by doing it get to know other cultures, other ways of living and thinking. It would be a wonderful experience!

Music, Movies, and Books

I don't have a particular favorite type of music, I like to listen almost everything.

Books: A lot of them! My favorite one is "One hundred years of solitude" of Gabriel García Márquez

Movies: Love romantic comedies, drama, action.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think the craziest/amazing thing I've done is taking risks!
I moved to Mexico City without having a job neither friends there, but I just felt it was the time and the right thing to do and although it was very hard in the beginning it helped me become an independent person and taught me a lot of very valuable life lessons.

After that I took another chance and applied for a scholarship and moved to Europe (one of my biggest dreams in life!)
I've been living in Barcelona for more than a year and I also lived in Delft, NL for six months and both places have left a print in me and given me wonderful experiences and memories, among with amazing new friends.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm open to learn everything. I'm a curious person and I'm always looking for new things and topics to talk and learn about.

I can cook very well as well as drawing :P

What I Can Share with Hosts

My friendship, trust, experience and company. I don't mind helping with the shores at home as well as inviting the host some drinks or paying for the food, stuff like that.
