Hello I am Estefania, thank you for reading my profile.

[Currently in Germany from 20th August to 2nd September 2024]

This trip was an escape to find a job and discover the amazing nature of new territories bikepacking, to reflect about life, love, relations and understanding the meaning of being human in different locations. Since August 20th I am doing the last part of my cycling trip, visiting friends before I go back to Colombia. I made radical changes of my plan as finding a job was actually a difficult mission (paper things mostly), still looking for a job opportunity to move to Europe for few years to start and experience life quality and professional progress. I was travelling the Balkans with Boy in our bicycles, sometimes camping as we have a small tent and a hammock, the idea was to escape the Schengen Area for 5 weeks in the Balkans, enjoy nature and then come back again to the Sch.A. But anyway things can change... I will be glad to share more about the journey when we meet...

I like to meet great people sharing our lifestyle and support each other in this unique traveling experience. :’)

Absolutely welcome to enjoy nature, art, culture and my humble home full of art. I still need to update the photographs.

I live in Bogotá D.C., I do appreciate life in this simple way: breathe, dream, dance, enjoy food and cooking, observe, explore, smile, laugh loud, enjoy all the outside through my senses, be a happy little animal and a creative human being.-

I do value learning and experiencing as these are the most precious personal gifts in life. I think in this way we discover the connection of everything. For me there's not necessary an explanation to harmony and madness.

I studied business management considering it the closed first step in my learning process, to finally get what I want: to realise a social project to create community and co-working areas of knowledge. Now... that I took THE OTHER ROAD things have another meaning, but I still pursuit to realise my dream, I had been doing it for a long time and progressively I will make it my main profession. *(I am actually working on it!!!!)*

Create, re-think, make it participatory and dynamic, any element can't be omitted.

I do business development, but ... what I really enjoy is making friendly connections with people and the environment.

I love to travel, because I learn and I experience humans' life perspectives, at the end we all create knowledge based on existence.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think people on couchsurfing has always something unique and interesting to share with others. Many friends around the world recommended it too; so makes sense to share a profile. Also to exchange valuable information by sharing personal and common/quotidian experiences.

If were my country, I would like people feel happy to enjoy this amazing place and its people.
