About Me

Hello, everyone!

I'm passionate about family, sports, and exploration. At the heart of it all, I cherish spending time with my beloved wife and son, engaging in various family activities that bring us joy and laughter.

My love for sports fuels my enthusiasm for staying active and healthy. Additionally, I have a deep-seated passion for travel and culinary adventures. Having pursued my master's studies in France from 2013 to 2015, I was introduced to the wonders of travel applications, particularly within Europe. Now, I'm based in Bogotá, Colombia.

I thoroughly enjoy conversing with individuals from diverse backgrounds, exchanging stories, and discovering new places to eat and explore. Fluent in French, English, and Spanish, I embrace the richness of language and culture as bridges to connect with people worldwide.

Join me on this journey of discovery and exploration!

Music, Movies, and Books

Favorite Music:

I have an eclectic taste in music and enjoy exploring various genres. From upbeat reggaeton tunes that get me moving to the energetic rhythms of punk and rock en español, my playlist reflects a diverse range of sounds and styles. While I may not be deeply familiar with metal or similar genres, I appreciate the artistry and diversity that music offers across all spectrums.

Favorite Movies:

I find joy in a wide range of cinematic experiences. Whether it's the adrenaline-pumping action sequences of a blockbuster film like "Air Force One," the mind-bending twists of science fiction thrillers, or the spine-tingling suspense of horror flicks, I appreciate the magic of cinema in all its forms. Some of my favorites include "Air Force One," science fiction like "Independence Day" and horror-comedy gems that keep me entertained.

Favorite Books:

Books serve as portals to different worlds, and I'm always eager to embark on new literary journeys. I have a particular fondness for science fiction novels that push the boundaries of imagination, as well as gripping action-packed thrillers. One of my favorite books is "Angels and Demons" by Dan Brown, which combines elements of mystery, history, and suspense into a captivating narrative.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the most exhilarating experiences I've had was leaping into the unknown through skydiving and bungee jumping. The adrenaline rush, the feeling of freedom as I soared through the air, and the breathtaking views from above are moments etched into my memory forever. Embracing the thrill of extreme sports has been an incredible journey, reminding me of the sheer exhilaration that comes from stepping outside of my comfort zone and embracing life's daring adventures.

Teach, Learn, Share

Life has woven a tapestry of experiences for me, each thread telling a unique story. From heartwarming anecdotes to thrilling adventures, I have tales to share that can captivate and inspire. With a penchant for humor, I bring a lively energy to every interaction, making even the simplest moments memorable.

I'm passionate about bridging cultures and breaking down language barriers. If you're interested in learning Spanish, I'd be delighted to guide you through its intricacies and nuances. In return, I'm always eager to learn from diverse cultures, soaking in the richness of traditions and perspectives from around the globe.

Let's embark on a journey of mutual discovery and growth, where every encounter becomes an opportunity to teach, learn, and share the boundless treasures of life.

What I Can Share with Hosts

As a guest, I bring with me a treasure trove of amusing life stories that never fail to entertain and inspire. From hilarious misadventures to heartwarming encounters, I have a knack for storytelling that can light up any room.

Moreover, I offer insights into the vibrant tapestry of Colombian culture, from its colorful traditions to its rich culinary heritage. Having spent time in France, I also bring a touch of French culture to the table, sharing anecdotes and experiences from my time there.

With me as your guest, you can expect lively conversations filled with laughter, cultural exchanges that broaden horizons, and memorable moments that celebrate the beauty of human connection.
