About Me

Back home after spending almost a decade abroad and ready to host and give back to CS!

🇨🇴🇸🇯🇸🇦 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, or why not a few 🍻

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 two things: what brings you to the city (tourism, a special event, work, something else) and if you're ok staying in a local area (instead of the tourist spots in the city center) in case you're sending a couch request

😎 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 CouchSurfing..

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
