I'm a Mexican young guy studying literature. Want to know more? Jus ask me! You can add me on Facebook: Alberto Avendaño.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I grew with the dumb idea that you need to be rich to travel. Then I realized that there are options to go out and know new places and new people with a low budget. Who cares about budget when you are having a great convesation in Central Park?
I want to live the experience of traveling and meet new people from all over the world. That's why I'm on Couchsurfing. :)

Interests

I would like to know about other cultures through people. I want to ask them about their lives and share with them the place I come from. I would love to see the highlights and the slums of the cities I visit. I'm anxious to take a plane and land in the other side of the world. I'm young and I want to live! :D
