About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Discovering myself, enjoying the present and playing with reality.

ABOUT ME

I am an Independent Professional Photographer, who love plants and nature. I do essential oils distilling and been learning about biodynamic agriculture for some years Now. Im working on a small family garden on the outskirts of the city where I grow organic vegetables in order to guarantee food sovereignty for the comming years. Sometimes I can be quiet but im always ready to help.

PHILOSOPHY

Be yourself, be true, listen carefully.

ES
Soy un fotógrafo profesional independiente, amante de las plantas y la naturaleza. Destilo algunos aceites esenciales y he estado aprendiendo sobre agricultura biodinámica desde hace algunos años. Estoy trabajando en un pequeño huerto familiar en las afueras de la ciudad donde cultivo hortalizas orgánicas para garantizar la soberanía alimentaria para los próximos años. A veces puedo ser un poco callado pero siempre estoy de buen humor.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Im here to Host and Surf, id love tell surfers about nice places and plans so they can get the most of their time here. If i have enough time, I will be pleased to show you the best of Bogota. I ride a motorcycle and find it a nice way to have a deeper and different view of a city, so maybe im free and we can go around.

I´ve surfed once in Perú and hosted some lovely people so far. The idea of traveling and hosting people from all over the world just make a lot of sense to me. Theres not a better way to dive into a city dynamics than this.
