CURRENT MISSION

Working on Climate Change, soil and land degradation , specifically in places where land is degraded and as a consequence plenty of social conflicts such as poverty and violence, thus I do my best to make the planet better every day !
I grew up in a farm in the Colombian Andes so my experiences are more with natural environments and wachting changes of ecosystems makes me chose my profession so I can help them to preserve in a world where everyday we are more people demanding food and everything from the environment thus we need to protect them because we depend on them
I also give short speech’s about our necessity to take care of them

ABOUT ME

I have great interest to know as much places and people I can, I am an opend mind person
I care about nature I can learn from anybody but I also can teach from what I know and I can learn new things every day
We have only one life

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I think the CS is a good chance to help people to know more places. I have received here plenty of people before beeind a member of CS, but now I am traveling so I have meet very interesting and friendly people using this app.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been in Lyon, La Paz, Buenos Aires, Ushuaia, Oslo, London, Krakow, Zagreb, Beldrade, Nuremberg, Hamburg, Munich, Brno, Budapest and in Colombia (Barranquilla) using CS. And I met so nice people that we continue in contact, the best of CF is that I have meet people in other countries

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- working in land degradation by salinization in Colombia
- Traveling to some National Parks in USA
- Watching the Milky Way reflected on a lake in Algonquin park, Canada
- a night in Guatemala watching the Acatenango volcano erupting
- being in the Sierra Nevada del Cocuy
- working with soils and land degradation has been an opportunity to visit several beautiful non-touristic places
- planted more than 2000 native trees that helps wildlife and birds and continuing doing that as a retribution of what nature gives me everyday (food, air, water, and almost everything I have or I use)
- taking care of my mom’s little house on the Andes
