Hi!

My name is David and I am from Bogota, Colombia. I'm an engineer but also a passionate for languages. Learning a language implies knowing a culture and getting in touch with new perspectives of the world, so my goal is to learn well as many as possible.

I like to share my experiences with others, but I especially enjoy listening to and learning from what people have to say.

I also like to play the piano, especially Caribbean and Colombian rhythms, and to do exercise.

If you come to Bogota, don't hesitate to contact me. I would like to get to know you and to show you my beautiful city.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm passionate about languages, and Couchsurfing will let me interact with other people sharing this same interest, knowing their culture, hobbies, opinions, and lessons learned throughout their lives.

Interests

• sports
• baseball
• languages
• language exchange
• bike riding
• good conversation

Music, Movies, and Books

Music:
I like brazilian music, especially Tom Jobim, Vinicius de Moraes, Vanessa de Mata e Marcelo D2.
Salsa and Colombian rhythms are also among my favorite music styles.
However, I'm always willing to listen to something different.

Movies:
The Terminal
Seven
Cidade de Deus
Dialogue avec mon jardinier

I am not a good reader; however, I've really loved every book I have read:
Le Petit Prince
Ensaio sobre cegueira
O Ano em que Zumbi Tomou o Rio
Cien años de soledad

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I learned to surf in Brazil and I absolutely loved it!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you to play the piano. I am not the best at it but I've got some salsa tumbaos :)

Besides languages, I like to learn to dance. Any style is welcome.

I would like to share the languages I speak with both learners and native speakers to practice.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share some Colombian coffee, which is one of the best in the world.
