Everybody is welcome to stay at my place... well, just remember the MOST important thing: "CS ATTITUDE, please" you know what I mean... well in case you don´t know, CS is NOT just about free acommodation and my house is not a hotel of course...
I just move in to a new appartament in the south of the city.
I live just one block from the metro station and only at 15 minutes or so to the city center (downtown)
I live so close to Coyoacan Neighbourhood, from here you can even walk to Frida´s house: "La casa azul" Well, It´s like 20 minutes walk...
If you love films this is the place for you... I try to watch one or two films every night.
I don´t have too many furniture so I don´t have a couch yet but I do have many space on the floor so you can use it. I have an air bed also so you can use it.
I can give you some sheets, but you have to bring your sleeping bag.
I don´t smoke, and I don´t mind if you do it inside of the house... well, just don´t smoke a lot... hehehe!!!
If you come to my place I will be so glad to show you around while I am not working.
I go to bed very late.
Weekdays or weekends are good for me to host you, no problema!!!
If you have any question, just let me know!!!
IMPORTANT: "IF YOU MAKE A REQUEST TO STAY AT MY PLACE, PLEASE CONFIRM THAT YOU ARE COMING OR NOT. SOMETIMES I KEEP WAITING FOR PEOPLE WHO NEVER COME."
WELCOME TO MY PLACE!!!!

Mis pasiones: Cine, Viajar, La Cultura Pre-Hispánica, Pintura, Cine, Leer, Cine, Cine, Cine...
Ultimamente me he dado cuenta que me fascina reír a carcajadas... realmente es algo que disfruto hacer.
Adoro el humor negro y sarcástico...
Lo mejor que puedes hacer en la vida es soñar y luchar por lograr esos sueños. Lo importante es disfrutar la vida al máximo, cada persona es diferente y cada quien tiene su manera de disfrutar su vida.
Me fascina viajar porque conoces a mucha gente completamente distinta.
Me gusta ayudar a la gente que lo necesita, no con dinero, pues no soy rico, pero si de cualquier otra manera.
Lo más importante en la vida es la amistad, antes que el amor...
El único Dios que existe, eres TU!!!!
Humildad y Lealtad son mis objetivos aunque no siempre es fácil llegar a ellos. Pero es excelente cuando lo logras...
Me fascina la música, Rock, Progresivo y Alternativo son mis favoritas.
Pero sin lugar a dudas la mejor banda es: RADIOHEAD
Me gusta leer sobre historia o cualquier otra cosa que me enseñe algo.
Cada momento y cada persona me enseñan algo importante en la vida.
"Yo solo sé, que no sé nada"
-SOCRATES.

I just realized that I love to laugh like crazy... It is really something that I enjoy to do!!
I love the black humour and the sarcastic one as well!!!
The best thing you can do in life is dreaming and enjoying the life. Any person is diferent and any person has it´s own way to enjoy life.
I like to travel to know diferent kind of people.
I like to help the people who need it, not with money cause I am not rich, but with anything else is necessary.
The most important thing in my life is the friendship better than love.
Humble and loyalty is my goal, not easy sometimes, but great when you do it.
The only god that exist is YOU!!!!
I love music, rock, progressive and alterantive are my favorites.
However the best band ever is : RADIOHEAD
I love to read about hystory or anything that teach me something.

From Karine Haddad Crailsheim, Germany Oct 30 Positive :)
What can I say about Marco...alot to say in a small window. but what i can say for sure is that he really makes u feel at home and safe. i started my trip in mexico at his house... and it really encouraged me to move further. He is joking alot which is exactly what u need in ur trip, moreover having very interesting discusiions. He is defintaly someone u want to host or at least meet..
thank you marco... am coming back again tomorrow.... hahaha. nahh.. jusst kidding.. but for sure, see u in Lebanon or in Germany ....
From Lily TIAN SIO PO Paris, France Oct 23 Positive It was a pleasure to meet Marcos and his incredible good sens of humour. We laught so many times and it was very good for me to have this moments. Also, Marcos is very generous and humble, hope to see him in the future.
From Antonio Erminio Rome, Italy Oct 19 Positive I surfed Marco's coach for a week and I felt like being home. He's a very open minded a trustable friend nice to talk with. I wish him all dreams to come true.
From Cloe Erick Montreal, Canada Oct 10 Positive We had a really good time with Marco. He is such a lovely person friendly and respecful. As he want to get a movie director, his discussions on movies and director around a couple of beers are very enjoyable. Thanks Marco!
From Till Kadritzke Cologne, Germany Oct 5 Positive Important things first: Marco is a great and helpful host and endured us three messy Germans and their pinche desmadre ;) for four nights, thanks a lot for that! Apart from that Marco is an interesting person and it was very inspiring to talk about movies with him. We couldnt hang out together too much, so I hope for more next time. Suerte con todos los proyectos y nos vemos en Berlin!
From Roberto De La Peña Cevallos Mexico City, Mexico Oct 1 Positive Marco tiene muy buenos ideales, lo conoci en un desayuno donde platicamos de los proyectos, de la experiencia y de la importacia de filmar lo que acontece en la vida, tantas historias que contar, tantos recuerdos que celebrar y tantos detalles que disfrutar... desde entonces se ha creado el vinculo y una buena amistad.
From Jäde Galipeau Gatineau, Canada Sep 30 Positive Marco is very adventurous because he drank my herbal tea!!! haha!! A quiet man, and a sick one when I stayed over unfortunetely, he's a funny quiet guy..I thinkhis vital organs are attached to his computer, he's very friendly because once we left, we came back for another night because we forgot our plane! thanks fo ryour patience!
From Eduardo Suarez Rancano Amsterdam, Netherlands Sep 17 Positive It was great to stay at Marco´s home. I felt at ease at every moment because he is very easy going and we had lots of nice talks about Mexico, people, film and many other things. Chido, Marco!
From Hana Sinkovec Ljubljana, Slovenia Aug 22 Positive Three girls occupied Marco's flat for a week and turned it into a girly's one. But Marco held on really well; it took him a couple of days before he started polishing his nails:))).
He is a great host: he told us for really cool places in Mexico City, took us to a proper football match and showed us some salsa steps (although he doesn't want to admit that he knows how to do it). We had a great laugh with him; his laugh is one of the best ones, when he does it you really know it comes from the heart. He is one big soul of a person and we came to friendship which goes far beyond CS. We are already making plans which places we're gonna show him in Slovenia. But still the best thing we did together was when he took us to the cinema to watch Harry Potter:))). Gonna miss you!
From Aina Cucurella & Nico Belmonte Teia, Spain Aug 22 Positive Pasamos 5 dias en la casa de Marco, y la verdad nos sentimos muy comodos. Compartimos comidas, cerveza, mate,... entre un monton de charlas.
Marco es un chico muy agradable, con el que se puede confiar para lo que sea.
Muchisimas gracias por tu hospitalidad y esperamos verte pronto en algun lugar del mundo.
From Agnese Miselli Reggio Emilia, Italy Aug 7 Positive Marco nos enseño que se puede ser una persona feliz sin comer queso... (ja, ja, ja...!!!). Hablando en serio, estamos muy felices de haberlo conocido. Se porto super bien con nosotros y compartimos con el muchas cosas... paseos a museos, fiestas, cenas, cervezas y muchas y muy buenas peliculas. Es una persona a la que hay que conocer. Cuantos couchsurfers tienen una foto con Jodorowsky...?.
Marcos te mandamos un abrazo y en tu proximo viaje a Europa t estaremos esperando wuey...!!!! No mames...!!!
From Marion and Etienne Martin-Rochegude Valence, France Jul 11 Positive We just spent some excellent times with Marco,

Thank you Marco for these very good days in your company !
A bientôt en France,
