Born in Bogota, Colombia.

"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars"

I am addicted to adventure, learning and new experiences. I love meeting new people, learning about all the different cultures and sharing experience, as for me this is the way to be. There is too much to see, smell, taste and enjoy to not spend your time sharing it with great people.

I am very into Rock climbing, hiking, cayaking, biking, camping under the stars, enjoying a nice dinner with good food and good company....eating well and staying in good health,some would call me a hippie i guess hah.

I am a student currently studying in Austin, TX and will be traveling to Europe to visit family for the first time in June. I'm looking someone to host me, suggest cool places, hang out, grab a beer, have dinner... I'm an easy going person, always seeking new adventures and looking for fun yet relaxed, down to earth people with interesting stories to tell.

Let me know if you're up for a beer or if I could crash your couch!

Saludos, Felipe :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have only traveled through the US using helpX so I am in the process of enhancing my CS**.

But I am here because my friends have told me of amazing experiences.
I want to meet new like- minded people, I want to experience new cultures, to learn new languages, to share experiences and passions with people.
I want to share a night under the stars with new friends, a nice bottle of wine over dinner in a new city across the pond, to run through the city on a rainy night with no plan in mind. To just enjoy life as i like to enjoy it with like minded people.

Some one told me about this site in the essence of paying it forward, and another way of helping people out, for now I am the traveler but when I get back I hope to be able to give what I have at home,

Music, Movies, and Books

Man music eh....shoot there's so much out there so to start with the roots..

I began loving music with classic rock as i was brought up with The Beatles and Pink Floyd jammed by my dad in his spare time-the greats hah. All of that, Led zeppelin, simon and garfunkel..etc.

From there we can go to oldies,to funk, to motown, to some blues, to some great jazz..nina simone is always solid... then from that of course originates all great music. I've also enjoyed to see all of these different kinds of music being mixed with electronic. I like a lot of South American music, lotta good stuff down there( wish i was a good cumbia/salsa dancer) aside from the traditional music in south america there is a lot of good stuff coming out.

I love Reggae.

Books...Theres a ton of good books out there, right now I'm reading the art of learning- pretty solid book. I love philosophy...ancient texts which i can barely get through..um theres good fiction out there...I've been reading a lot of growth books and entrepreneurship kind of stuff lately though.

Some that i just finished are :
"Mans search for meaning" Victor Frankl
"The alchemist" Paulo Coehlo
"The Art of learning" Josh Watzkin
"In our Time" Ernest Hemmingway
"On the road" Jack Kerouac
A bunch of poetry by Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson and some Sufi poetry by Hafiz

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've traveled all across the North west US in car for 4 months and slept in a hammock hundreds of feet on top of the Sequoia National forest.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Outside of graphic design, branding, marketing, social media help....

I bring a kind personality and great conversation. I like to believe I am a great person to be around and conversate with :)

I will share experiences, stories, laughter, learning and good times.

They say your vibe attracts your tribe....

Teach you some Spanish, English or a bit of Italian
Maybe teach you a bit about guitar, or rock climbing or soccer or yoga or meditation or anything i can bring to the table!

I know a lot about Massage therapy and keeping your muscles/ tendons in good shape :)
