Overview
About Me
I was born in Colombia but I was mostly raised in Mexico. I consider myself both Mexican and Colombian. Later on, I continued my High School in Toronto, Canada before moving back to Colombia to study one of my passions.
In 2017 I graduated as a UX Designer ... Before you ask if it is Industrial or Graphic Design... it is none of them and both of them at the same time :D I don't even know how to explained myself.
I am also passionate about technology, Cars (when I was a kid, I wanted to become a car designer), really special watches and Outdoor sports/activities in general (especially Cycling, Swimming, and Soccer). I also really enjoy hitchhiking. It's just incredible the kind of people you get to know ... try it :)
My priorities in life are to remain happy, travel as much as I can and enjoy the simple things in life.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
It all started when I was backpacking in Brazil for the World Cup. I arrived in Rio de Janeiro and wanted to meet local people. I was lucky enough to find Vinicius, a couchsurfer who introduced me to his family, his friends and opened the doors of his house. I was completely amazed by it ... this community is amazing.
Every time I travel, I like to immerse in the local environment as much as I can. I love to talk to people and if possible to stay with locals to learn about their culture and discover the secret places that most tour companies don't know.
I've done CS in Colombia, USA, France, Morocco, Switzerland ... and looking for new experiences.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Discovering there is so many people willing to help expecting nothing in return. Just ask. You will be surprised.
