About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To take over the world, no wait, to finish the hunger and wars of the world, no, seriously, well I do my try.

ABOUT ME

About me, bahh, it's always hard to speak of himself but I'll try. I can say that I am sociable and full of energy, easy going, care about the world situation, scientifically curious, respectful, dreamer.

I've been working as a Medical Doctor in many interesting places of Mexico country; I was with the Mayans (Tzeltal indigenous) for a year in a community deep down into the Lacandon Jungle. I came to Europe to make my childhood dream come true and become a crazy scientist... Muah ha ha!!!

I've done a lot of things in my short life and I'll always ready for the next step.

PHILOSOPHY

And in the end the love you take is equal to the love you make.

Jamais, avant ces derniers jours, je n'avais pressenti ce que voulait dire "exister". Jean-Paul Sartre

Fuego otra vez no me importa si volves pero que no sea hoy, fuego otra vez en la casa del ayer, pienso: no sé dónde estoy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've had good experiences here, and I'm really happy to see that this is a strong community with a great impact on the actual world. I have opened the doors of my house to many friends from different places of the world and very often I have traveled, slept and enjoyed the hospitality of lots of friends even long before this site even existed. It always has been a pleasure, and I hope it continues like this.
