I think that helping others is the best way to give back to whatever you believe/are grateful for. This world needs more bridges and less walls and in order to achieve this we have to get out of our comfort zone and get to know different types of people. Only then we will be able to understand each other and speak the same language of kindness. My international background has helped me achieve that and every day I learn something new specially thanks to the people that I meet. My main goals in life are reaching for this state of 'eudaimonia', helping anyone as much as I can and 'sapere aude'. Instead of pointing out our differences lets focus on what we are alike because regardless of our origin, believes, languages, country, etc., we all want the same thing which is to accept the 'life' we think we deserve.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Geeting to know people from other nations helps to break the stereotypes that we have from one another and learn from each other so that we create a better world. Also, a great way to make new friends, share experiences, help others and learn more about yourself.

Interests

I like to play chess. I have been in some competitions so I could say I'm good. I also like dogs, I have 2 Vizslas back at home. I really like art, specially from hispanic artists like: Rufino Tamayo, Rafael Coronel, Botero, Diego Rivera, Jose Clemente Orozco, David Alfaro Siqueiros, Leonora Carrington, Remedios Varo, etc, but I also know from the most famous ones worldwide. I watch tons of series: Rick & Morty, House of Cards, Skins, Family Guy, Merli, Dragon Ball, Malcom, HIMYM, Suits, Modern Family, Grace & Frankie, American Horror Story, Bojack, Law & Order, etc.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all kinds of music. I like listening to music in several languages even if I can't speak them.
Movies I don't tend to see a lot but I like horror ones, thriller ones, and action ones.
As for books my favourite are from spanish and latinamerican writers. Also a couple of English and few American ones. Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Julio Cortazar, Carlos Fuentes, Juan Rulfo, Juan Villoro, etc. to name a few of them.
