My name is Carlos Monroy, aka Marilyn Monroy. I‘m a visual artist born and raise in Bogotá, Colombia, but I been living in Sao Paulo, Brazil, for the past 14 years. I‘m easy talk and out going person, always ready to party or to have and easy talk with wine. I Love languages and I'm always learning about arts, performance, literature and anything in the fields related. I‘m and invited Professor in three different universities in Colombia and right now I'm planning to start a doctorate degree, reason why I‘m searching for options and open to talk.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I‘m always open to show my cities, Bogota and Sao Paulo, to "etrangers" who are coming. I love to take them to the best places, sightseeings and local amenities just in change, better in search, of a good talk or nice dance. lol I found coach-surfing a great tool to leave Neo-liberalism at the side just for some human sake and find true selfs who are willing to help, enjoy and simply live life as a community, searching what bring us together. I‘m always open to help in the ways I can and to teach and learn from new experiences and I think couchsurfing is a great place to do that.
