About Me

Hello! If I could have unlimited and uncensored access in writing this I think we’d have a 10 chapter novel in the making.....

So I’ll get to the point (more or less). I was born in Mexico City, lived in the US with my family till I was 19 then lived in Portugal for a while with an exchange fam and returned to Mexico at age 20-21 to begin college.

Basically I’m a blend of 3 different cultures which makes me kind of spontaneous, atypical and a bit of a chatter. I consider myself a giver, a loyal friend and a social bee and am always looking forward to meeting new people. I look at life as a glass half full - not half empty - and as far as life goes: I’d like to say I go with the flow and I’ll go wherever the winds will take me.

More about me:

I LOVE tasting local foods and getting to experience them with people from the city.

I’m an entrepreneur and run my own business that’s been growing since 2017. My username in instagram is @eventually.mx

I guess the rest is to be discovered but in a nutshell, this is me!

:)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I think discovering and understanding people from all walks of life will eventually solve the puzzle and give me the answer to the real meaning of life
(cliché but who we kidding, it’s true!)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Leaving my comfortable and monotonous life in the US (Houston, Texas) to travel and absorb a new world. Definitely changed the game for me. It’s led me to taking risks and decisions that most would probably not take but more importantly, it’s led me to meet amazing people from different corners of the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

Learn and talk, learn and talk some more! There’s nothing that beats living these moments, honestly. Tons of experiences to offer no doubt!
