About Me

I'm actually traveling in Central America so I can't host surfers.

CURRENT MISSION

To break free from all (most) limitating beliefs and fears.

ABOUT ME

I was born in Bogota, Colombia. I graduated from university 3 months ago and I moved to Cali recently, now I'm working in medical research. My friends say I'm a little bit crazy, but I'd like to think I'm just a very curious person who tries to learn a bit from everything and everybody. I'd love to ask people I met lots of questions to find out their stories and don't care telling others what's the story behind me.

I think I don't need big things to be happy, In fact I believe that the things that makes you happier are the small ones like watching the sunset with someone you really care for or having a drink with your best friends.

I consider myself as a nice person who loves spending time with friends and meeting new people. I'm a straightforward person and (usually) very calmed.

I'm definitely not a Guide as I'm not good with history, years and stories of places. However I know really well my city, and I can show you some places you won't get to go with a tourist agent!

Well, there is a little bit of who I am, We'll talk about the rest when we meet.

PHILOSOPHY
-We travel not to escape from life but for life not to scape from us.
-Happiness is only real when shared.
-"There are no strangers in this world. Only friends we have not meet yet"
-Don't dream your life, live your dreams.
-Hike your own Hike

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Newbie, FOR THE MOMENT. I've hosted a couple of travelers in my flat in Cali.

Interests

My passions are basically the Outdoors and Sports.

My favorite sports are rock climbing, boat sailing, swimming, soccer and recently Surfing, but the last one is very difficult for me to practice because I live 12 hour drive from the nearest beach. I do love camping, biking and hiking as well as scuba diving.
