About Me

I hate when I have to describe myself because I´m really spontaneous and It´s quite difficult to expresse with words....Ok, I´ve got it... I´m very spontaneous... That´s why I enjoy taking my backpack on friday, searching on Internet new destinations and just traveling. Planning isn´t easy for me but I try to give my best.

I can sincerly affirm that I`m delighted by "discovering" people as well as new places. When I find a new personality, I just enjoy hearing all about him because I learned that my friends are my best teachers.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Due to my "Planning skills" I have sleeped many times in train stations. I can´t complain, I have had "cute rooms" nearly to candy machines, direct access to the healthiest food (like kind of McD...), the service of the pleasent Polices officers and the perfect air conditioning (ehhh but...not too much fun in winter)
That makes fun too but I really like meeting new people in the world and I have to say...the people from train stations are not exactly friendly enough...

Interests

As Colombian boy, three words: Party, Soccer, hiking.

- I love the mountains: My eternal pasion. I can just be lost in them.
- I´m a "sport fan" which means I go frecuently gym, Fitness is my favourite theme. I study Food Technology ...and yes... I eat quite much
- I´m doing my intership in Germany, in a big brewery. That has been my dream since a kid because I am not only good Beer-drinker, but also I can create it!! Maybe the best job.

Pd. I love cats ( I didn´t know exactly how this thema mates with above, but I have to mention it).

Music, Movies, and Books

- Latin music...definitly. I come from Cali, Colombia better known as "World Salsa Capital city". That´s why you can find some Salsa Songs in my cell Phone.

But! If you are crazy about rock, I must tell you that I grew up with Guns-N-Roses, Metallica and Nirvana...Oh, the good times...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

No doubts...My biggest achievement was when I climbeb up one of the highest mountains near to my city (Colombia has a mixture between many many mountains, jungle, sand/blue seas and even snow!). After 10 hours I arrived at the peak: 5300 M. That´s sounds easy when you compare it with climbing Everest but it wasn´t.

It was an epical satisfation. I could find with myself in every drop of sweat, surrounded by pristine nature, absolut isolated from the civilization. I was perfect.

(I have learned German too...It counts as amazing because it´s easier climbing up the Everest intead of learning perfect german...)
