I was born in Colombia, but moved to Canada at an early age. I live in Vancouver with my wife Laura. I've also lived in Mexico, Guatemala and Ecuador for different stints of time. I enjoy people, all sorts of people in all their variety. I like to travel, camp, kayak and sit by a campfire.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to meet new people and hear their stories and interests. My wife and I have had guests from Korea, Australia, Mexico, Germany and different parts of Canada stay in our home and we love hearing about their countries and travels.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love all these things! Teaching, learning and sharing. Yes, please!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love teaching people new skills and empowering them to help themselves. I tend to be quite mechanically adept, technologically savvy and all-around problem-solvy. (Don't ask me to edit your school essay, but I'm all over helping you figure out that weird noise in your car)
