I´m from the convulsive but interesting Colombia. Currently, l am based in the Netherlands doing a Ph.D. in Social Psychology. In my free time, I like to get out of my academic life (not saying that I don´t like it), by playing guitar, drawing, hanging around with friends, watching movies, and traveling if possible. I´m a cat person, I prefer the bike, like sci-fi, history, and symbols. as Chejov once said about medicine, I´d say about Psychology: "Psychology is my wife, but literature is my lover".

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I realized something: the gist of traveling is take the local perspective and make friends. Couchsurfing is the ideal way to do both things.

Teach, Learn, Share

I guess I could teach some Spanish, basic salsa steps and how to cheat the system with a clip, internet connection, a rubber band, and two matches (not always work).

What I Can Share with Hosts

Hospitality, the certainty that you will optimize and enjoy your trip with my advice, and maybe a couch and hot water.
