CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy life

ABOUT ME

I like music, literature, meeting people, and traveling.
I´ve been really busy the last long year and had not enough time to pay attention to Couschsurfing. I apologize for the late references I posted on my surfers profiles.
I love traveling, but since I cannot travel every time, and keep interested in knowing people and share experiences, I really enjoy hosting surfers because I know that though maybe they are going to be busy and don´t have so much time to share, in the end it will always be a rich experience if I just listen for a while to other people who belong to another culture and has a different view of life.

PHILOSOPHY

It is better if you are open minded and try to avoid judging people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host surfers, and have surfed a few times. My experience just began, but it has been really nice. So I can show around the city if you are my surfer, or if you are just visiting but staying other place as well. Sometimes people just want to know a friendly hand who help them in an unknown place, and that´s fine to me.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

As a said before, my experience in CS has just begun, and the experiences have been pretty good. I´m willing to host you, and to help you in this big city.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I always get surprised and excited when I see how people can help others without any kind of expectation and with a smile on their faces.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach Spanish because I´m a Spanish teacher in a university.
I can teach something about Literature, and share my books and music.

I would like to improve my english performance, and learn many things about different lifestyles and cultures around the world.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Well... I can take you to some nice places in Bogotá, especially to hiking inside the city.
Since I am not such a handyperson, I can have some chats about the places I have visited, but also about literature and music and indeed art. And cats!!!
