CURRENT MISSION

Apply to be accepted in a Economics Phd.

ABOUT ME

I love to travel! I would like to travel around the world. I am a very academic person; I studied math and mechanical engineering but at the end, I did a master in economics and I work doing economic research. I also love to hike in the mountains of Bogotá (close to my house). I run for fun, I have only run 10K races.

PHILOSOPHY

I would like to live my life using Albert Einstein’s quote:

“Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.”

Mixed with Forest Gump’s quote:

"Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just joined and I want to host people to show them around if possible. I'm also available for coffee or drinks.

I would like to use Couchsurfing in my future trips.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

When I went to the Lost City (see Amazing Things Done) I met some Australian travelers, we had a great time together and I host them in Bogotá. It was through them that I got to know about Couchsurfing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to the 2012 London Olympics! That was an incredible experience!
I went to Ciudad Perdida (Lost City) here in Colombia. Ciudad Perdida is an ancient indigenous town that was not discovered (was lost) until 1970. It is located in Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta (5700 metres), the highest mountain near the sea.
