Hello there!

I'm a Colombian international student, I arrived in France since July 2018 and have been doing a master on an engineering school since that!

CURRENT MISSION: Finishing my studies meanwhile I discover Europe as much as I can!

I'm 23 years old, and I am really motivated to know many places, cultural traditions, and share experiences. So far, thanks to my exchange experience I have known people from some countries like India, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, China, Greece, and Italy. One of the best things about this is knowing that you have someone willing to share with you in another country and maybe I would like to have more of that here too!

I like sports, I have always really enjoyed playing ping pong and recently discovered badminton who is really cool too! however the sport I practice more "seriously" is basketball :D

I also consider myself with the soul of an adventurer, there are many things that I would like to try like camping in a wild area, go and visit countries by my own without knowing the language, eating very different and exotic dished of food and many more...

Finally, I always try to be persistent and see the positive side of things. Coming from Colombia and especially Medellín, it touches me a lot when the people (often influenced by the TV series) talk about the issue of the drug cartels and how violent my country is without having a context of how it has been transformed. However, instead of reacting badly to this topic almost always I start joking about it when it comes out, this has allowed me to meet many people and then explain my point of view of how things are!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
