About Me

"Lover of life, singer of songs"

I love that quote about Freddie Mercury and quite relate to it (just the first half because I´m no singer hehe). Im definately a lover of life and I´m very grateful to it. I grew up at an amazing country (Colombia) and have a very supportive family and both exciting and diverse friends. I also had the opportunity to study and live in México which is like my second home. Almost reaching 30, I think I´m at one of the highlights of my life, but still with tons of things and goals to achieve. I´m very friendly, passionate, spontaneus, reflective, intelligent, and always willing to meet new people and hear good and bad stories.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I travelled to Ephesus (Turkey) on my own I was on a group tour and only stayed there for 1 night. We went to the ancient city ruins in the morning and in the Amphitheater they were organizing some equipment for a classical concert to be held at night. When we came back to the hotel I really wanted to attend the concert but we were almost 1 hour away from the city. So I decided to go on my own, took a public bus and befriended the driver, then he left me 2 km away from the entracnce to Ephesus. There was a large car queue so it was better to go walking and on my way inside the city I got to know a mid 40ties australian woman who also didn´t have a ticket for the concert. Finally we bought one, got in and experienced one of the best concerts in my life. It was a presentation of the Vienna Symphony and the amphitheater has the bes accustics I have witnessed. Going back I had the most demanding negotiation test in my life. I had only 20 dollas left and had to convinced a turkish driver to take me to the hotel for that amount. It took me around 30 mintues to convince him and he agreed but complainted all the way to the hotel, even shouting something in turkish. It was a great experience!
