About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live, laugh, love

ABOUT ME

**GOING FOR A LONG TRIP DURING AUGUST AND SEPTEMBER. UNFORTUNATELY I WON'T BE ABLE TO BE A HOST IN LONDON ANYMORE, BUT HOPEFULLY YOU WILL HAVE ME AS YOUR SURFER!AFTER THAT, GOING BACK TO BOGOTÁ, WHERE U R VERY WELCOME**

I am a Colombian journalist who loves to travel around and get to know new places and new people. I am 26 years old and am currently studying at LSE (yes, the university Gaddafi gave money to). I'm an easy target for good moments and fun. Love Latin music, dance it every time I have the chance. I like watching all kinds of films but horror films, I eat everything but raisens or pickles and I drink everything but .. mmm.. no exceptions. I have one parent, 3 grandparents, 3 siblings, many aunts and uncles and many more cousins. I am very attached to my family. Love anywhere possible to take a nice photo.

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy is: "allez avec la vie". Ir con la vida. Go with the flow. Another philosophy: be as happy as possible with what you have in front of you. Another philosophy: live as if this was your last day. I believe that things can change as long as we commit to it. I believe in God, but I don't want to go into this subject because I am deeply respectful of everyone else's beliefs.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have offered a bed and have slept in other people's beds.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I must say couchsurfing is a unique opportunity to stop getting to 'see' places and starting to 'experience' those places you visit

Interests

Sentimentalist things: my family and my friends. Academically: my career and Human Rights. Hobby-ly: literature books, films, cooking, football (including going to stadiums), tasting new food, partying, listening to music, dancing, singing (not great voice though), cheering up, being happy.

The sightseeing of Rio de Janeiro from El Corcovado and from Sugar Loaf Mountain. Speechless. Done: partying with Fito Paez (Latinamericans must know which singer I'm talking about)
