Hello fellow travelers! I'm Amalia, an only child passionate adventurer and travel enthusiast. I’ve been exploring the world since 2009 and it’s been an incredible journey of connecting with locals, discovering new cultures and making lifelong memories.
Originally from Cartagena, Colombia, I’ve hosted travelers in my hometown and had the pleasure of being hosted around the world. Whether I’m wandering the streets of a new city, learning about its history, or soaking up local traditions, I’m always eager to explore and share these experiences. I’m friendly, open-minded, and love to connect with people who have a similar sense of curiosity and a love for cultural exchange. Looking forward to meeting fellow travelers and hosts who can make my adventures even more special!

PHILOSOPHY

I truly believe that everything happens for a reason. Treat others the way you wish to be treated, with kindness and respect. Life’s challenges remind us to appreciate the good when it arrives, and sometimes things fall apart to make room for something better. Remember, the truth often emerges when emotions run high, so never forget what’s said in moments of frustration.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is all about connection, trust and cultural exchange and that’s why I’ve been a member for years! It’s not just about finding a place to stay, but about creating meaningful experiences with people around the world. I love hearing your stories, sharing mine and discovering hidden gems in cities that I wouldn’t have found on my own. Whether I’m exploring solo or with friends, I find Couchsurfing to be a fantastic way to meet like-minded people, share laughs and create lasting bonds. Plus, the free hospitality feels like a gift that I love passing on when I host.

Interests

I love reading, writing about my thoughts and points of view of the world itself. I really love music, in fact, can't live without it. I love dancing, it is one of my best skills. I love traveling since I believe it gives you perspective you can only gain by being there and experiencing life in the flesh.

My other interests and hobbies are: going to the Beach, Ice creams, Pasta, Exercising, Staying healthy and girly.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Skydiving in Aruba. It has been the most exhilarating and amazing experience I've had in my life so far. Emotions were mixed while free falling. It was a combination of fear, adrenaline, freedom...

What I Can Share with Hosts

I believe in the power of hospitality and I love offering a warm welcome to anyone who stays with me. When hosting, I enjoy sharing local experiences, offering tips on where to go in Cartagena or Bogota and cooking up a meal with a side of good conversation. I also love exploring places with others, whether it’s hiking in the mountains, visiting hidden spots in the city, or enjoying local food. I'm always ready for a new adventure and would be happy to share stories, laughter and a few travel tips from my own journeys.
