PHILOSOPHY

Hay tres grupos de personas: los que hacen que las cosas pasen; los que miran las cosas que pasan y los que se preguntan qué pasó." (Nicholas Murray Butler)

'Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go' T.S. Eliot

Why not? Let's do it! :D

Do whatever you want always, just makes sure it will make you the happiest

Music, Movies, and Books

MUSIC: Probably everything except Rancheras, Tango, Heavy Metal. But when on cultural exchange I'm more open.

MOVIES: not so many.
La piel que habito, SHAME, The Help, The girl with the Dragon Tattoo, the boy in the striped pyjamas, One day, Jeux de Enfants, Harry Potter, The ICE age. Eventually those are the last I watched that I liked and remembered. I feel more attracted with Horror, Action, Drama, Comedy & Fiction movies.

BOOKS: Not really a good reader. Just a couple of Gabriel García Marquez. (I know it's a shame, but if you figure out there's a book I definitely should read I'll probably do)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sorry but not just one
*Paragliding in Santander
*Skydiving in Dubai
*I'm inlove with the Golden Gate bridge and everything California-related since I went there in 2010.
*Studying in Medellin, live and enjoy the city and the people.
*Colombian beaches... Tayrona WOW!
*Living in Dubai since 2016
*Experienced life as a Berliner in 2013

Teach, Learn, Share

TEACH:

*Spanish (different Colombian accents actually, maybe Mexican, Argentinian, Spaniard and Peruvian Spanish accents when I am a little drunk, also add Spanish idioms, cool expressions and lot of new words)
*English if you are not native
*I'm an Online Marketing Consultant which is pretty much a raising need for people with business out there. So I can give you good short advises for your business website.
*I could teach my Colombian way of dancing? and partying
*I apologize I can't cook but I can try to show you what Colombian food is like.
*I can teach you about Colombia, recommend you places if you are visiting in the future, suggest something that may fit on your interests and maybe some things related with the Colombian culture, history or people.
*Actually I could think of more but maybe not really useful/practical things

LEARN:
*I love learning languages, and trying to get new accents, new words and new habits.
*I would love to learn to cook something typical or maybe your favorite dish.
*I love learning and listening to cool stories
*Maybe you got a cool drinking game or something? or a different way to party or have fun. I would like to learn it.

SHARE: sometimes I like taking Colombian handicrafts for my foreigners friends so maybe if you like them I could share one with you.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share a little couch in my living room which will be available until the 20th June before I go to travel for 1 month. I can show around Dubai when available as well!
