Overview
About Me
Hi! I'm from Bogotá, Colombia. I've lived there most of my life, plus several months in Sinai, Egypt, the Caribbean island of San Andrés, the USA. I enjoy backpacking, meeting people and getting to know common life in the places I visit. I'm currently traveling for the first time in Europe, but have traveled before in Egypt, Israel, Thailand, India, and several countries in South, Central and North America. In my country, I'm part of a rural Ecovillage project in development, called Mi Tribu. I hope to have a space available there for couchsurfers and friends in a couple of years. I love to share my experience on sustainable and community living, personal and organizational development, spirituality, art (I paint and do percussion). I'm a good listener. Simultaneous interpretation or Spanish teaching are skills I also like to share!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I lived some years ago at a friend's flat where he and his girfriend recieved couchsurfers; we met great people during the year I was there. I'm currently traveling for the first time in Europe and want to couchsurf also, hoping to meet local people, make friends, learn about life in the places I visit, and perhaps get some good tips for my trip. I also want to move around without spending too much; the exchange rate between Euros and Colombian Pesos is quite high!
