About Me

ABOUT ME

Traveling around the world is my big passion. I love learning something new every day and It happens more often when traveling.
I worked as a consultant in Colombia, researcher and professor in urban planning law there. It is not so boring as it might sounds I am also an activist in a NGO working for a more bicycle and pedestrian friendly city.
I live with my dog who is very easy going and tender.
I´ve never hosted native Spanish speakers, cause my purpose in CS is mainly to have an opportunity to practice my English.
I´ll host people around my age or older than me. People I think we have things and activities in common.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I met very nice people thanks to CS I´ve seen the word through the eyes of all the foreigners I´ve had the opportunity to talk and share with. CS is like traveling without leaving my place. So far I have hosted a few people in my place and I shared great talks with them, they are still my friend. that´s why I believe in long-lasting friendship through CS. I haven't had the chance to surf myself yet.
Please remember that I definitely only can host ONE PERSON max. I don´t have much space.

Interests

Relaxing plans mostly, I´m not a party girl. Good and interesting talks, hiking, nature, sightsee, yoga, meditation.

Eating out, I love vegetarian, Peruvian, Chinese and Italian food. I am passionate about new experiences with food.

Music, Movies, and Books

Everything that I can dance (but reggaeton). About books historical novels are the best!. Ken Follet is one of my favorites authors. All about urban planning and cities development...for work. I love reading psychologist as well.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I did paragliding and bonji jumping.
I visited the end of the world in Patagonia Argentina

I try to see most of my experiences as something amazing and it works for me.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a very good host and I know a lot about my region, my city and my country.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can teach some Spanish. Everything about Colombian culture. I am a great dancer, I love bachata and salsa. I can teach how to dance too. I am an expert in low-budget trips I can enjoy a high-budget trip, though. I am a good cook, especially when I cook to somebody else I learned some about Spanish cuisine when I lived there.
