About Me

I'm an environmental engineering student who loves being outside in the nature. But that doesn't mean that I have no interest in culture and living in cities. I have traveled all around Mexico and half of central América with a backpack, a tent, and hitchhiking (thats why I never used couchsurfing before).

Now I will be studying on an exchange programe at Luleå, Sweden, so it's time to travel all around Europe (Starting with Scandinavia) as much as my energy and optimism continues.

....

"Try to achieve freedom from the material; go after experiences, good food & good company. That's what really fills you up in the long term" - A wise nomad I met someday.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to travel around Europe without missing the point of view of the locals.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent the night at the top of the biggest mayan pyramid at Tikal, Guatemala. This is completely forbidden, so to achieve it; one friend of mine, 2 europeans we met on the road, and myself, entered late into the park and walk directly to hide inside the jungle and quietly waited for the night. Then we got lost for almost two hours on our way back, but it worths it. Believe me, I don't think I will never see so many stars as that night in the middle of the mayan jungle.
