About Me

I am Colombian and moved to Paris in November 2017. I am a researcher in the field of applied mathematics for health, working for an NGO.

I am gay, and I mention this to maintain distance from individuals with homophobic attitudes. However, I also want to emphasize that I do not use Couchsurfing as a dating platform or gay app.

I live alone in the 20th arrondissement of Paris.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I prefer to be immersed in the life of the places that I use to visit, this is because the couchsurfing may be a better alternative for hosting in comparison with hotels. For me couchsurfing is not just a way to reduce expenses, mainly is a way to exchange experiences with other travelers...

What I Can Share with Hosts

I livea lone in a small flat and I have an inflatable mattress and you will sleep in the living room.
Since my flat is not so big, I prefer to host only one person and exceptionally a couple.
I can go out if I am free otherwise we can arrange some plans for the nights. We may organize some plans, for example to run together or biking to some park close to Paris.
