Easy-going, friendly, fun Colombian who decided to quit her job to have an adventure around the world for 1.5 yrs :) and back to real life since Feb 2020 :(.
Even though I am not traveling full-time anymore, I still travel as much as I can with some very last minute trips, so hopefully I get to meet you in one of those 🥳.
I love getting to know people- their background and experiences. Traveling has definitely opened my eyes and confirmed my perspective; most of us are here to have a good time, share a story, and learn something from another person we might have never met otherwise.

I moved to the US in 2002 and have lived in Denver, Miami, and most recently (Dec 2021) Austin- so definitely still exploring.

(Important info*)
- I will not reply if you have bad references or an incomplete profile as it shows you may not understand or may not want to fully participate in the CS community.
I'm interested in meeting up, being hosted, and possibly hosting the right traveler (3-4 nights max), nothing else, so please avoid any emojis that may be read as something different. I'm very straight forward and expect the same from the people around me.
If you're looking to be hosted, be you, be personable, I am not interested in hosting people that just want a free place to stay. Also, CS is someone's place, not a hostel/hotel, so if you are not clean, unorganized, and/or disrespectful, I am not the right host for you.
Thank you for reading :).
