Hi. I'm Felipe, borned and raised in Bogotá, Colombia. Right now I'm working on my own to give to my family and me long term prosperity and oportunities to a better enjoyment of life. In the last two years I was more into Real Estate but now I'm going in for Stock Trading.

I love exploring and meeting open, interesting and laid back people with I can talk and share almost any kind of activity. Time to time I like to meet up with foreigners and locals to do things that gives us the opportunity to have a good conversation, know the city, teach and learn from each other and have fun.

My interests are diverse so, we can go for a coffee, talk about your culture and interests, visit a museum, walk around the city, go for a dinner, take a glass of wine or a couple of beers in a pub, or maybe go to party.

I have been participated in some events in my hometown with couchsurfers: language clubs, parties, eating out, salsa lessons and paintball. I met up travellers from England, France, Spain, Poland, Turkey, Brazil, Germany and, of course, Colombia.

Algo increíble que he hecho

---------------------

---------------------

Enseña, aprende, comparte

---------------------

Share

I'm going to make two special playlists for my trip: one very personal from the trip itself and another with some of the best music from Colombia. I can share them with you if you like... and it would be awesome if you can add something that remind me of you and your country.

On the other hand, I'm a stock trader so, if you think that stuff is interesting I can show you some stock charts, or teach you something (at least how to make an order). If you are into stock trading too or into anything related to business, finance, real estate or marketing It will be a pleasure to talk about it and exchange some ideas.

---------------------

Learn

I'm open to learning about pretty much anything, but particularly I want to improve my english and master it. My fluency in speaking and the listening of unfamiliar accents are my Achilles heel.

And all that you can share and teach me will be welcomed and valued.

---------------------

Teach

I can teach you about my country, my culture and interests, including a quick course of spanish.

I know how to play guitar. Which song do you want to learn?

---------------------

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

---------------------

First and foremost I'm going to be very respectful of your home and privacy. I'm very discreet and considerate with others.

-------

Of course I like to chat and I can speak you about me and my country, life, universe, past, future, and other interesting topics. Also I can give you a quick course of spanish.

-------

If my host likes eventually I can cook for him / her some yummy dishes: I make my own versions of stroganoff, beef stir fry and other dishes that I don't know its names: a chicken breast cooked in the oven and seasoned with beer, soy sauce and secret spices, a medium rare steak sealed in the pan and finished in the oven and a ground beef casserole with vegetables.

If the above is not possible I can invite you as well for a meal at a restaurant nearby .
