Overview
About Me
I recently came back home after some years abroad. I'm in for hanging out and also hosting; just keep in mind that I live more than 10 km away from the center of the city (La Candelaria), which is where you'll probably wanna be; even more if it's your first time visiting Bogotá. Otherwise, if you're fine with this, welcome!
Born and raised in Colombia, I have lived in countries like Norway and Saudi Arabia—funny how those two are almost complete opposites in many ways
Extreme sports and trying new things is my thing, both are extraordinary ways to let go of fear and comfort
Ever since I started traveling and hiking in school trips when I was a child, that is something that I am still enjoying—and will probably keep enjoying in the years to come
Not your typical Colombian: instead of coffee, I'd rather go for a cup of green tea
Still, like a good Latino, I can't get enough of playing football
What I enjoy the most about couchsurfing is meeting people to learn from different cultures and ways of living/thinking, and of course getting away from the typical touristic spots to get to know the *real* local lifestyle
Don't forget to write in your message what brings you to the city and enjoy your travels!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
To get to know another perspective when talking to people, learning from their experiences, customs, and way of thinking
Experiencing the local life is way better than being trapped in tourist attractions
There is always something to learn from each other

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Only one? Come on Couch Surfing..
Anyway I'd go for swimming next to a whale shark, that was mind blowing
Teach, Learn, Share
A friend gave me an advice I will always remember: "never forget where you come from"
Your family, your childhood, your struggles, your learnings.. everything you've lived is incredibly unique and has taken you where you are today
Back to your travels, you can find some tips on the 'My Home' section
