About Me

Just a Colombian guy lost Buenos Aires.

I work as a project coordinator in an American events company and sometimes also translate subtitles from movies and series - everything online. I like good cinema, literature and anything related to politics, culture and world issues.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have several friends who have traveled with Couchsurfing, I have already been a host and I would like to meet easy-going people who would like to show me a bit about their cities and culture. I would love to make friends!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Waking up drunk on a sidewalk in Rio de Janeiro - it was not nice then, but it is a good memory!

Climbing a mountain in Colombia.

Working with 200 people from over 50 different countries in Bogota.

Backpacking around Europe.

Teach, Learn, Share

We can practice English, Spanish, Portuguese and French. I can talk about Economy, Politics, literature or cinema. I want to learn about any topic that may arise. I want to share a beer, an interesting movie, and share experiences. I want to learn about the place I am, the history of the city, what to do and what not to do. I want to feel like a local, if possible.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have the most stupid jokes ever, so I may be the only one laughing if I tell them. Though I am not carrying much from Colombia with me, I can share a beer with my host, and I promise I will be a good guest. :D
