About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live and understand Japanese culture!

ABOUT ME

I have been lucky and made the right choices to travel a bit of the world and I will continue traveling whenever I can.

I love to learn and dialogue with other culture's individuals. At the same time I think we should avoid labels, and understand we are all the same :D
I'm eager to try new stuff, learn from zero and discover myself more deeply. I'm interested on social development, education and sustainability. I seek professional opportunities on those fields.

I'd be happy to meet you!

PHILOSOPHY

"Treat everyone as you want to be treated". Do good and give/share happiness with others, trough my own.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love traveling using CS, so I can meet locals or other foreigners living an adventurous life and their culture.
I hosted in NZ (but it was my friend Lidja who got the CS requests and reviews). I am starting to host more frecuently in Mexico City where I live with my sweet mother. Local meeting, show around my city and hang out: all enjoyable for me!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been guest/host, lived with CS friends in foreign countries, I loved the experience and the people.
I've also enjoyed coffees, tours, meals and beers with fellow CSers troughout the World.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1. Instant noodles.
2. Two months around the World on the "Ship for World Youth" with great people from 13 countries.
3. Seen the sunrise at 5150m..
4. Cycled through 13 countries, about 14000 kms in total :D

Teach, Learn, Share

Certified as Spanish Language teacher, beware!
I can always share thoughts and experiences, dreams and ideals...
I might be able to cook something and I can sort of fix simple bicycle issues.
Always up for a beer and laugh!
