I'm 24 years old and I consider myself a very happy, open-minded and cheerful person, I like to enjoy the little things of life, enjoy every experience and every single moment. I love to laugh about everything and to tell bad jokes haha.

I'm studying Electronic Engineering at the Universidad del Valle in Cali, Colombia and I did an academic exchange at the Technische Universität Dresden in Dresden, Germany. That's how i met Couchsurfing.

I really enjoyed that opportunity of being in Europe, having new experiences, making friends from all over the world and living in another culture very different from mine.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to travel and meet new people! Couchsurfing is a wonderful way to get the maximum from travelling, specially because of meeting, learning and hanging out with local people!
