This is the story of how I backpacked to Guanajuato and stayed in a stranger's home in Mexico!

I always had a fear of trying Couchsurfing. I did not know many people who had done it and could share their experiences. But this time, here in Mexico, I decided to give it a try. I desperately wanted to see how locals live. It is nice to see the country from the outside but sometimes walking around the streets is not enough to get the essence of the culture. I wanted to see how people of my age communicate to their friends, what kind of music they listen to, what they have for breakfast, how they feel about their country, about their jobs, about their government, and about being Mexican...
One thing I want to highlight is that doing such a thing should be well-thought out, especially when you are so far from your home and loved ones. I am extremely grateful for Cristina's hospitality but, since I didn't know her, I had a plan B before going there. I knew there were a couple of hostels available in Guanajuato and if something went wrong, I could always stay there. I guess I am trying to say that you do need to be careful when it comes to trusting strangers. This time I trusted my gut and everything went absolutely amazingly.
