Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One of my biggest dreams ever is to travel through Europe and get to know people, cultures, stories and lifestyles around this continent. But Unfortunately this cost a lot of money because of the rooms and hotel expenses, so I thought: why not to give couchsurfing a try?. I have heard so many good stories about it that I was captivated by them, so I would love to give this experience a try and allow me to accomplish my dream.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I am currently working in my project called Inclusive Art Colombia, in which we create audiovisual productions (short movies and musical theatre) for people with disabilities, to create opportunities in the artistic industry for them to develop professionally as integral artists. We train them to sing, act and dance with their own way of expressing themselves. That way we are fighting to change the hearts and minds of people in my country, and hopefully around the world soon, so we can help to build and transform our society into a more conscious society about inclusion and respect for diversity.
