CURRENT MISSION
To live each day the best way I can!

ABOUT ME
I'm a 35-year-old Mexican guy who enjoys life! i love traveling, learning languages, things like culture, food, design, architecture, art and graffiti.... from different countries!!
I worked as a University Teacher for a couple of years and I encouraged students to travel and study abroad 'cause that's what opened my eyes to enjoy real life when I was a student.
Now I'm a Design Director in a company that sells minerals and fossils; and I can say I'm living a happy life!

PHILOSOPHY
Live your own life and let everyone else live theirs.
Dream your dreams with open eyes and make them come true.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I hosted frequently while I was living in Puebla city.
Then I moved back to Tehuacan City were I host some travelers on their way to or from Puebla-Oaxaca. This isn't a very touristic place but it does have its own natural beauties.
Every time I have a CSer in town I show them as much as we can see.
-WHEN YOU REQUEST TO STAY AT MY PLACE, AT LEAST PROVE YOU READ MY PROFILE-

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I surfed for the very first time in Sao Paulo back in 2009, it was awesome!! I went to a weekly reunion there and enjoyed my whole week in the city!
Now I host while I'm in town, until my next trip, I love showing my city to travelers interested in culture, food, art and a bit of history!
