I like making jokes. When I'm relaxed. When I'm nervous. I usually regret the last kind. Jokes are also a way of knowing if you speak a language truly well: if people can laugh of your intended jokes, you are good to go. I try to be funny in all the languages I speak. I fail terribly in French, but I guess a lot of people do.

PHILOSOPHY

It depends on the personality I am using for the day.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have some friends who use couchsurf, and I ended up meeting some people who my friends met via couchsurfing. But I've just joined, so my experience is very limited. I humbly accept help to change that reality.

Interests

Music, especially when people let me sing or play really badly a large range of instruments. Actually, I want to join a band in Geneva, the kind with good music, doesn't matter the genre. I was singing electronic rock back in Bogotá.

Sports, especially the ones who give me pain the day after, like wakeboarding. Also enjoy scubadiving, surfing and skiing. In a nutshell, sports in which water, at any physical state, is involved. Doesn't mean I am any good at them, although so far I have managed not to drown.

Writing. That's the way I found to get a very considerable amount of ideas out of my head. Sent my book to a couple of friends. They all said they loved it. I like having supportive friends, but maybe I am not very particular about liars.

Music, Movies, and Books

This question is not fair. But the book I am always willing to read again is Pride and Prejudice. If you don't like it, I am not sure I like you.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Published my book.

Jumped over an abyss with a rope and without security. Pretty stupid; awesome feeling.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have an awesome ability to locate myself, in spite of my gender. Being a human gps is really helpful, to me and to people who travel with me. Of course that quality is useless with a working iphone around, but some places have no 3G network.
