CURRENT MISSION

Write and paint, continue to live in the quaintest little town in Colombia, in which I´ve been living for a year now. Travel to Japan in October to fulfill my dream of knowing such an amazing country!

ABOUT ME

Me encanta leer, pintar, escribir y conocer gente que tenga y sepa contar historias. Estudié Literatura, después de graduarme quise por mucho tiempo viajar por las Américas en una van y fui a vivir a Canadá para iniciar el viaje, pero lástimosamente no logré completar el sueño. Rota, me devolví a Colombia y después de escribir un libro, mi primer libro (bajo la peculiar figura de ser una escritora fantasma), por vueltas del destino terminé en un pueblito pintoresco que me devolvió los colores y las letras, desde entonces pinto acuarelas de estas tierras, aprendo los nombres de los árboles y lentamente voy logrando una vida entre la naturaleza, las artes y la escritura. Sigo viajando igual, para descubrir el mundo.

I love reading, writing and painting. I graduated from Literature and afterwards I went off to Canada to live the travelers dream: buy a van and drive from Alaska to Patagonia, and then...life kind of happened, I got the van but couldn´t travel so I returned in pieces to Colombia. Then I wrote a book– my first– although as a ghost writer and eventually I, against all odds (because I always thought I was a big-city-girl), ended up in a little town in the hills of Colombia which gave me back my happiness through colours, letters and dreams. Ever since I live in this quaint town weaving a life of writing, painting and learning the names of the trees. As always I keep on traveling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've host a fair few surfers, all of them were really nice and I would love to see again. I´ve surfed and even had one weird experience. Nonetheless out of couchsurfing I met my would be roommates and made some amazing friends that are life lasting.

Also, I think the idea itself of Couch surfing is part of a new way to inhabit and relate in this world that is valuable and hopeful.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A pesar de ser atea, uno de los momentos más conmovedores que he vivido es una misa ortodoxa en una iglesia en Rusia en un pueblo.

Even though I don't believe in god one of the most touching experiences i've had, was a orthodox mass in a church in the middle of Russia.

Camping in the middle of nowhere near Squamish in Canada and having some strange creature– presumably a bear– scratch the van.

New Years in Cobapacaba, Rio de Janeiro.
