My friends call me James, I'm 28 years old. I'm public mental health proffesional. I work in The Ministry of Healht of Michoacán State, in the Surveillance Epidemiologic area. I live in a nice apartment with all amenities, safe, clean and very quiet. I love photography, travel, and good beer. I believe in the spontaneous hospitality and all my friends think I am the best of hosts. I was born into an artistic family. My parents met dancing and singing. My father is a professor of literature and my mother was a teacher of Special Education. My only brother is a pianist of Fine Arts. I love to sing, it's a passion I enjoy most. My goal is to devote to public policy in Mental Health.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I discovered that I can become a good host, when my friends came over to my apartment and did not want to go. I believe that cleanliness is one of my best qualities, kitchen and bathroom should always cause comfort!I like to go out and teach the good of my city,

Music, Movies, and Books

Mexican music is an amazing experience. The versatility of its rhythms and lyrics have always captivated me. I'm a fan of Jamie Cullum (singer, songwriter) and mix blus, jazz and rock, Bach, Beethoven and Chopin, so I like all kinds of music (but hate the songs that refer to drug traffickers and reggaeton). I like to read romance novels. Among my favorite authors are: Gabriel García Márquez, José Emilio Pacheco, Juan Rulfo, Julio Cortázar and poems by different authors as Pablo Neruda, Bennedeti, Manuel Acuña, Antonio Machado, Gustavo Adolfo Becquer, Octavio Paz, among others. My favorite actor Philip Seymour Hoffman (Capote) and Matthew Mcconaughey (Dallas Buyer Club) among others.

Good music, interesting talks, partying, know the true culture of my city and my state, meet people importate in many areas like health, and culture (my environment), excellent food and especially a clean and comfortable place to sleep.
