Hello,

My name is Jorge Ivan and I am 22 years old and I live in Mexico.
I'm studying Engineer in Computer Science at Tecnológico de Monterrey, Monterrey campus.

At the moment I am in an exchange student program here in Daegu, Sotuh Korea at Kyungpook National University.

I like to be honest and treat people the way I would like them to treat me.

I am open minded, optimistic, and patient.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Two reasons mainly:

1. It has always been my dream to travel to Japan specifically, and now that I am studying for 1 semester here in South Korea I would like to make that come true.

2. As you can see I haven't travel a lot, only South Korea and MExico in my entire life so I would like to travel more because traveling opens minds and space for new friendships.

Interests

I love to swim, read philosophical books(recently started), study, have fun, meditate, food, help people in which ever way I can, drawing in pencil, art in general, and have pictures of the moon and space in general(Realistic or man made).

And of course Travel to Japan.
