I'm an easy-going guy. I was born in Bogotá-Colombia and although most of my life I have lived in Bogotá I've had the chance to travel and visit a lot of places within Colombia but also abroad, both with friends and family and also alone.

I went to college and studied industrial engineering and then a master in statistics (kinda geek tho :P). I'm passionate about education and technology for helping people.

I run two foundations working in educational and cultural projects in Bogotá and nearby towns.

It's always about making the best out of it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The question is why not. It's awesome to meet and hangout with people all over the world and exchange experiences, perspectives of life, and of course to have fun, going to eat something local, walk by the city, have some beers, cook; with a good company any plan can be fantastic.

I consider that Couchsurfing is the Peace Nobel Prize made truth!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Get around and hangout, I know many places for many different interest. We can also go for beers, bike rides, party, museums, jogging, Xbox, it's almost about time availability and the day of the week.
I live in a well-located part of Bogotá (nearby 45 ST) so transport is generally easy and non-expensive.
