I am a Colombian biologist and I currently live in Germany. I am doing a master's degree in evolutionary biology at the University of Bonn. I love nature and everything that has to do with it. That is why I studied biology. However, I also enjoy traveling and meeting people. I have traveled all over my country, from the deserts of northern Colombia to the Amazon forest. I have travelled to many Latin American countries and I am currently interested in knowing Europe and its culture. I also like hiking and sometimes I enjoy yoga. My boyfriend lives in Colombia and I enjoy traveling with him because he is also a biologist, a lover of nature (birds) and bicycles.

I consider myself an open-minded person, willing to learn about the history and culture of the countries to which I travel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This is the first time using Couchsurfing. I created severeal years ago but never tried before. Now I hope to have an amazing experience with this.

And as I said, right now I want to travel to european countries and meet people. Its an amazing continent!

Interests

Besides from being a biologist and having an academic interest in nature and science, I enjoy reading about history of different countries. I'm also an activist in women rights in Science.
