About Me

Yaaaas I’m from Colombia 🇨🇴Get ready to be part of my craaaaazy and lovely Latin tribe🥳🌎🌞

BE SURE TO READ MY WHOLE PROFILE BEFORE SENDING ME A REQUEST. Finding love while traveling is great - just don’t seek it here. ⚠️
CouchSurfing (CS) is not Tinder or a global dating app, so don't text me if you’re looking for a date or hookups😒I’m unavailable. 🙅‍♀️

I’m so proud of being Latin and Colombian 💁‍♀️
***I’ve never watched Narcos nor do we love Pablo Escobar 🚫 before saying good things about him, you should watch this video (it has subtitles):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Ele0_I1h_w
Any fuckin’ country is much more than its stereotypes or a sociopath leader🌈❤️

If you’re a man💁🏻‍♂️👱‍♂️🧔🏻 is unlikely I’ll accept your request in the first place (NO, I don’t hate men. NO, I’m not a feminazi (if you think that exists)).
I always give priority to women and LGBTIQ+ because I want to provide a safe shelter for us⛱👩🏻🧑🏽👱🏽‍♀️👩🏾‍🦱👩🏼‍🦰👩🌈
WHY? You can ask any woman and we will always have at least one story about an uncomfortable situation with males anywhere, CS, hostels and camping. 😤
If I accept your request, it’s your opportunity to change my mind about toxic masculinity 🔥🚫

If you're JUST looking for free accommodation, a simple tourist guide or a nanny that will cook for you, take care of you or take you with me every time I go out, I can’t help you🚫 women are not meant to cook, clean and compel your standards of femininity.

I can give you travel tips, free accommodation and occasional meals.
You're also welcome to join me for drinks or parties, but realise I'm not free most days as I’m an expat here.👩‍💻

I can swear that I won't accept your copy-paste request, be sure to give me details about your trip or yourself. I can’t just simply “Accept” a request with an empty message.

CURRENT MISSION Enjoy life, learn everyday and share my geopolitical 🌎any other kind of knowledge🤪 🧠and greaaaat vibes✨ with every person I meet (I try).
I'm working on a project for Soulcial Trust NGO to start running the first Training Restaurant for people with disabilities of Siem Reap, to embrace disability as part of human diversity; any advice or opinion that you can give me will be well received :)

ABOUT ME
-I'm currently living in Bogota, Colombia.
-I used to live in Siem Reap, Cambodia.🇰🇭
-One of the things that I find great about being a solo traveler is that I can meet a lot of new amazing people.
-I'm an INTP in all its splendour. Reserved at the beginning (NOT SHY) and smiley as hell.
-I'm a young and proud Latin💃 that loves learning about different cultures.
-As INTP, I'm a super introverted and independent woman, it doesn't mean I'm not talkative or friendly, just that I don't want to be taken over by other people or belong to a specific group.
-I'm solitary: I need space and time to myself and if I don’t have it, it causes tension. I really enjoy going out alone, to the cinema🍿, to a restaurant or to partyyy💃💃🍺. So if I ask you to join me, it's because I really appreciate your company.
-I consider myself a positive and enthusiastic nerd.👩‍🏫
-I love smiling a lot and enjoying things as much as I can.💃🏃‍♀️
-I'm a passionate, curious solo traveller woman and amateur activist seeking for adventures:
I'm part of the people that wants to change the way economical interaction works, supporting social and environmentally friendly companies, projects and collectives that strive everyday for a better world. ☮️
I want to fight for a world where every person, no matter their origin, has equal rights and opportunities.
-I'm a Business Management student. 🏦🏨✈️🚕🎰🛳🏖
-My favorite things include deep conversations about history, geopolitics, socioeconomics, feminism, films, philosophy, etc., etc.

PHILOSOPHY If something irradiates beauty or love, keep it in your life❤️ I always look for a reason and meaning in everything, if these don't exist I won't waste my time on it.✨

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing (CS) is built on trust and generosity and some of us truly believe in hospitality, respect and honesty.
It's my way to show myself and other people that not everything has to do with monetary exchanges. Capitalism has fucked our minds.

If I accept to be your host, I expect to know each other before you arrive, I want to know who my guests are in advance. It is highly unlikely that if you're a man, I won't accept your request if you have no CS certification, or enough friends and FEMALE references.

P.S. I will give you a NEGATIVE REFERENCE if after accepting my couch you don't show up. I spend valuable time on CS and don't appreciate people that take me away the opportunity to meet other decent people.

Music, Movies, and Books

Regarding music I'm very eclectic! My hierarchy of musical tastes changes untimely. Some time ago I discovered instrumental Bluegrass is part of my soul 🎶🔥

This might have been a honest representation of a bit of my musical soul: I like almost everything, specially rock, blues, metal, R&B, jazz, classical, funk, celtic, house, techno and of course many latin genres like son, salsa, tango music.

My favourite bands/artists include: The Beatles, AC/DC, The Quaker City Night Hawks, Queen, Amy Winehouse, The Rolling Stones, Natalia Lafourcade, Enrique Bunbury. Regarding films, I consider myself a cinema enthusiastic, I have watched more than 200 movies of different genres.

Some of the films I would watch again and again:

-Wild tales
-American beauty
-La La Land
-Trainspotting
-Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri
-Lion
-Requiem for a dream
- One day
-Manchester by the sea
-Incendies
-Kynodontas
-Michael Moore's documentaries.

Finally, I love reading 👩‍🏫but as a good INTP I start reading a book and at the same time my mind wanders and usually I can’t reach the end😂😂, for that reason I’m more into articles, papers and even comics about gender, culture, politics, philosophy...

My favorite books would be:
-Animal farm
-Green city in the sun
-Why love hurts
-Hopscotch
-1984
-Liquid love
-The Sorrows of Young Werther
-The Shining
-Doctor Sleep
-The Zahir
-What Money Can't Buy: The Moral Limits of Markets

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The latest: I survived after being robbed in Vietnam and deported from Thailand. Yes, no passport, no money, no credit cards, no phone, nothing. And you know what? I’m more than convinced that solo traveler women aren’t weak or lonely at all.
I slept in an airplane remodeled as a hotel.🛩
I slept in a cave.
(I don’t even think it’s that amazing but) I slept on the beachside and witnessed a memorable FULL MOON in April 2019 with all my stuff 💕🏝
I lived in a hostel for a month.
I traveled across the world (18.000Km) just to heal a broken heart and find my true-self. 😂🧘‍♀️🗺

Teach, Learn, Share

Do you know Luis from Ant-Man? Well, I’m that kinda latin, the amateur storyteller, I keep telling those “friend of my friend” stories.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I only can offer you travel tips, show you my favorite places here, to buy groceries, fruits, bread, etc. and some restaurants and clubs. Also, free accommodation and an occasional meal.
You're also welcome to join me for drinks or parties👯‍♀️🍻🍷🍹🎉 but realise I'm not in Siem Reap for holidays, so I'm not free most days😔but I usually make exceptions😆
If you don't mind then you are very welcome to stay at my place. 🏡

Don’t take it personal if I don’t wanna talk or hang out with you 24/7, I have my own life and routine, I’m very protective of my personal space and I need my time alone (Introverts will understand).

I'd like to invite CouchSurfers from all over the world to share time and stories. If you want to know more about Colombia🇨🇴share a nice talk during the days or nights of Siem Reap and have a new Colombian friend💃💃✨ just text me :)
