Hey there! I'm Alejo from Colombia. I am making my way through Europe for a few weeks making the most of my off time. I am an English teacher back home and I work coordinating a bilingual program with public schools. I enjoy nature as much as I enjoy exploring cities and trying out new things. I love trying new food and drinks and learning about all the places I visit. A bit shy at first, but willing to have a great time around people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on couchsurfing because I'd love to get to know new people while exploring new places. I have just joined the platform, so I am excited to connect and interact with whoever is interested in that. I also want to learn about different cultures and share mine too.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am a music lover and enjoy different genres, from rock to traditional music from my hometown, Colombia. My favorite bands are Fleetwood Mac, Gorillaz and Metronomy.
I enjoy all kinds of movies, but lately I have been very into animated movies such as the ones from Ghibli studios, my favorite "The Wind Rises".

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have had the chance to go Skydiving while I was living in the US. I think it was an amazing experience, but I would think about it twice if I had the chance to do it again.

Teach, Learn, Share

As a language teacher, I love to have conversations about how languages change from place to place and how that is representative of people's cultures and ways of living. It's also very interesting to see how people live and the cultural differences their context determines. I believe I would take advantage of every opportunity I got to learn about people's stories and places history too.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am willing to have conversations about language, cultures, history, and everything I know. I's like to share and interact over food and drinks and if possible maybe get to host them at my place in my hometown.
