Music, business and good will are the fundamental things in my life. Here in Colombia these topics are the ones that can give you a good chance at succeeding in whatever you might like or do, in my case I love the good combination of those 3 topics. I play the guitar, drums, bass guitar and piano, hoping with this to be a great musician some day and travel around the world with my music.

About 2 years ago I began working in bars, cultural houses and almost everywhere as the "sound guy", carrying speakers, microphones, cables, the drum kit and making concerts sound good. I really love music and having all the experience from tons and tons of bands and gig's i've helped and realized gives me the wish to make music and show it to the world :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

CS, in my opinion, is the best site to find and to offer help in people's journey, also being a wonderful place to make your journey even more awesome, having the chance to met new people and cultures.

Since I am new to this whole mechanic of CS, I hope to give the best impression I can, and for this I am hoping some day to be in the same place as the guy o girl that reads my requests and thought about who is going to come to my house. I will have to arrange and make a good plan but surely in a future I could accept guests :) Colombia is a beautiful country, one you should really really visit.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once I had this trip to the Amazonas region and in this was one of the most amazing trip i've ever had. I even had the chance to swim in the river! Knowing about the people, their costumbres, beliefs and the place itself made this journey one of the most amazing things I have done in my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

Nowadays I am teaching music to people that want to prepare their exams for university, to people that always have loved music but never had the right approach. Also I love to learn from new and old people in my life, so I am ready to learn new things.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My cultural and musical knowledge, besides from all the experiences i've had with my work as a musician and a sound engineer. All the experiences in my country have made an image of the world in my mind, so I am eagerly to share it with people and to listen, in this case literally live it, this same perspective in another person's life.
