I have been travelling South America for 5 months now and have fallen in love with Colombia and don't wang to leave. I will be staying in Medellin for six weeks to do a Spanish course, because I want to learn more of this beautiful language!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to stay with locals to practice my Spanish, to help with learning English, to make local friends and to see a little of Colombia through a Colombians eyes.
