I developed one of the most successful online food ordering platforms, with a presence in Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. I sold this business to the same international holding company that acquired DoorDash in Canada. I've also launched other web projects in Ecuador and the United States. I am a telecommunications technician, and my work has taken me around the world with my wife. We have two daughters, one American and one Colombian. We are currently relocating to Canada, where I plan to study Electrical Applications because I also have knowledge of electricity and want to further develop my skills. We hope to build our life in Winnipeg. I don’t drink alcohol or smoke, but I’m extroverted and love dancing salsa, merengue, and other Latin-American rhythms.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing because I want to learn about other cultures. I have hosted many travelers from the Americas and Europe at my home in Ecuador. I have been a guest only about twice, but I have made new friends from different nationalities.

Interests

I frequently organize trips within and outside my country. I enjoy driving cars or motorcycles on the highway. I spend my free time in a Go-Kart or on a motocross bike. Programming websites is also one of my interests.
