CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy life as much as I can with its joys and sorrows.

ABOUT ME

Just a human trying to make sense of the world I live in.

I like to learn and practice new languages. I enjoy meeting new people from different countries and walks of life. I love to explore new places, make new friends, and have a great time.

PHILOSOPHY

Simplified:

-Happiness is a state of mind.

-Success is determined by our attitudes, not by our circumstances.

-Give me a coffee to change the things I can and wine to accept the things I cannot.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host travelers and share with them not only my home but my culture and my daily life. Whenever possible I also like to show people around my city, cook with them and drink some tequila together.

When I travel I love to meet local people from the places I visit, it's a unique experience to learn about a culture, make new friends, and explore the world.

Interests

I like to try out and experience new things, you never know if you like or don't like something until you actually do it, so I'm pretty relaxed and venturesome about it. I like partying, sports, hiking, and being on the road.

I also, enjoy a great cup of coffee with a book, going to the park, and a nice movie.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like to read all types of books, that said, I especially enjoy novels, but in reality, I believe I always try to have a wide scope of the books I read. You can find me on Goodreads as oswaldpledesma.

I love music and one of my goals is to learn to play the piano in a not very long future. I sometimes play the harmonica, I'm not good or anything really, just for myself.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I co-founded with my boyfriend a digital marketing agency called Osmo Digital and I also co-founded with a friend a community for language enthusiasts and coffee lovers called CaféLingua Exchange.

I've visited native/indigenous Mexican communities for social projects related to solar energy and clean water.

I went to study in Austria for a year when I was doing my bachelor's degree in marketing, I traveled to many cities in Europe and made friends from all over the world.

I specifically lived in a city called Krems an der Donau, and the friends I made during this year are still family to this day.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love Mexico's history and its culture, so if you want to learn about something just ask anything you're interested in.

I do digital marketing for a living through my agency Osmo Digital and I've learned a lot about business development, entrepreneurship, and leadership.

I also like languages and have over 2,000 hours of experience as a consecutive interpreter (English-Spanish). If you're interested in this we can talk about it too.

We can go to the GYM together if you want to, I go to a GYM that gives me free passes to invite friends.

We can talk about anything. :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good vibes, a cozy apartment, respectful and friendly conversations, red wine, and good tequila.
