CURRENT MISSION

"Vivere il presente come ricordo futuro." I. Calvino.

ABOUT ME

Born surrounded by mountains. Raised in the valleys. Longing for the moon.

I love languages. I speak Spanish (first language), English, French, and a little bit of Italian. I also enjoy very much good hikes with friends with whom speak about everything and anything. Rain gives a much more interesting mood to any day.
If there's a guitar, it'll be fun.

PHILOSOPHY

"El hombre que viaja no regresa. Vuelve otro".

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've met lots of kind people during a few journeys in Colombia. The best way to pay forward what I've received is to open my home to others and thus help to make the world smaller than it is. I've crushed others' couches, but I've mostly hosted and hung out with travellers from all the corners of the world. That's how I've learned how small an yet diverse and rich the world is.

Interests

I've recently started collecting foreign currency (coins). So if you have some coins from your journeys, I'll appreciate donations and exchanges.
