I am a professional travel agent from Colombia who loves travelling and meeting new people. I am living in New Zealand since 2011 and It has been great!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I have already been in many countries in the world but I have done in the traditional way. So, I feel that it is another way to get the real life of the local people and to understand better the different cultures.
By travelling in the traditional way it is possible to discover new things but it is too general and for me as a travel agent it is more important to live the culture and transmit my knowledge to my customers.
Also, I like sharing and teaching. I mean, if I could show the positive things about my Latin culture to the world I do it.

Interests

I like reading, having a good chat with people that want to know about my culture and share their experiences in life. Likewise eating with friends and family makes me happy. When I have the chance I like going to the beach and do small trips around.
Surprisingly I am cooking better and it is kind of fun and pain sometimes. Also I like eating healthy and working out, sometimes going to the swimming pool.
I like learning history and things that have to do with archaeology, sometimes science fiction movies are nice.

Music, Movies, and Books

Ramses. By Chistian Jacq. This is a 5 books novel inspired on the life of Ramses the II.
Movie: Independence Day with Will Smith. I think this is a great movie to see in the old style cinemas due to its special effects and sound.

Teach, Learn, Share

I believe that we are always learning, that life is a process of getting new things and that every human been is able to teach us something.
Therefore I consider that I am an open minded person with knowledge to share and great things to learn.
