Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm an American student traveling to Colombia this summer (late May through June). I'm hoping to meet up with some locals in the areas that I'm going to (Cartagena, Santa Marta, Bogota, Medellin, Salento and Leticia) who could give me some tips or show me around. I'd be more willing than helping to pitch in for food/drink costs in return!

Soy un estudiante viajando a Colombia este verano (mayo a junio). A mi me encantaría a juntarle con la gente que se conozca las áreas en que voy a estar (Cartagena, Santa Marta, Bogotá, Medellin, Salento y Leticia). Yo le podría ayudar con la cuesta de la comida/traigas!

Interests

I love sports/physical activities, photography, music, trying different types of food, dancing, etc. More than anything, when I travel, I just want to be a part of the local culture.

Me gustan deportes, música, fotografiar, probar comidas nuevas, bailar, etc. Lo mas importante es que yo quiera estar un parte de la cultura local.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Drove myself out to Las Salinas Grandes in Salta, Argentina after missing my alarm clock and sleeping through my scheduled tour.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn about new cultures, sharpen up my Spanish a bit and see what locals like to do in their cities/homes.

Quiero conocer nuevas culturas, practicar mi español y ver lo que hacen los ciudadanos en sus propias ciudades/casas.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love practicing language, if you want to practice your English/Spanish/Chinese. Also, if you're interested at all in the New York culture/music scene, I could definitely help acquaint you with it.

Me encanta a practicar idomas, si quieres practicar tu ingles/espanol/chino conmigo. Tambien, si a ti te interesa la cultura o musica de Nueva York, te pueda presentarlo.
