Description

Hola! 🌎
I'm a friendly and adventurous Mexican who has been travelling for the past 6 years, exploring the nice cultures of Central and South America, a bit of Europe, and Asia. I truly believe the world is too big and fascinating to stay in home! I'm now focused in having more human connections and experiences rather than materialism and physical attachments.

I'm a curious and active person doing sports frequently, always eager to learn new skills, embrace different experiences, and stay connected to nature. Whether it’s exploring the big cities, hiking in the mountains, camping, walking through forests, or relaxing by the beach, I find joy in life’s simplest and most beautiful moments.

After some life experiences I decided to dedicate a part of my time and life to social proyects. When I'm in Mexico, I dedicate time to a project in a ranch to the north of Mexico. There, we grow crops, flowers, and medicinal plants to support indigenous communities, people in need, and victims in vulnerable areas.

One of the best parts of traveling is meeting people—both locals and fellow travelers. I’ve made lifelong friends and met incredible individuals who’ve helped me along the way. I love sharing my culture, and I'm also open for others into my country, and offering the same kindness I’ve received.

Very adaptable and open-minded, I've lived in diverse environments—from big cities to remote ranches, lakes, jungles and beaches! Warm or cold, I adapt easily and love immersing myself in different lifestyles.

What I’m Looking For in 2025

This year, I plan to explore parts of Europe, improve my English, maybe learn some basics of other languages. While traveling, I’ll also be working part-time on my online master’s degree of data and A.I. proyects,so some days access to electricity and internet connection is important for me only a few hours in the day, not all day and not all days.
Interesde in 1 or 2 week workaways only because my permission to be in Europe is short.

I’m hardworking, reliable, and happy to help with whatever is needed—be it gardening, cooking, organizing, or sharing Mexican recipes.
I bring a positive attitude and love sharing stories, experiences, and laughter with others.

Life is full of surprises, and I’m excited to keep discovering what’s next.

Also for other travellers and locals, feel free to reach out—I’d love to connect! 👋🏻

Now in Belgium!

¡Saludos!

What else ...

>I have 1 year that I stopped eating meat, but I don't have problems living with people who eat meat, I respect any diet (but I won't eat or cook meat). My decision was more for a healthy and philosophical way of thinking.

>I respect and can live together with people of any ideology, religion, age, nationality and any way of life. Unprejudiced.

>I consider myself as a very open minded culturally, flexible and adaptable person. I lived some years in a big popular nudist beach in the south of Mexico and some weeks in the mayan jungle of Guatemala, I'm not afraid of a very natural, rustic or naturist life in the nature without city comforts and its typical way of life.
