About Me

I live in Bogotá. I am a recently graduated lawyer and I am currently interested on traveling around the world to study, interact with new cultures and specially meeting new people and also interested on receiving people from around the world.
There are lots of things I could say about me, but I would rather focus on discovering things about other people.
In my social circles I am known as "Parce", expression used popularly in my country to refer to someone as a pal.
But enough about me, maybe you'll find other common things that we would be likely to share throughout our interaction, so feel free to contact me!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am really passionate about traveling. I've done this since I was a kid and now I want to live for it. However, apart from meeting new cultures and places I am mainly focused on relating with new people and that is why I want to offer a place here in Bogota, where I live and surely travel to other places.

Interests

I like writing novels, music (I play violin), reading, Karate, extreme sports, videogames, among other things.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite music is rock/metal, but I also love folkloric music from many parts of the world such as the andine music, the celtic music, the japanese music, etc. I like salsa, the 80's and 90's music, in brief I have a great variety of preferences.

Movies I couldn't live without: The Lord of the Rings Saga, Equilibrium, samurai movies such as Zatoichi, 13 Assasins, The Last Samurai and mainly almost all of Tarantino's.

I love social, economy and history books but right now I am reading adventure novels such as Game of Thrones

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Almost every amazing thing I've done has occurred traveling. I once escalated a volcano in Ecuador and, when I was getting back home, I saw an eruption from another volcano. It was one of the most amazing things I've ever seen and due to that I wasn't able to return, instead I had to stay in a hotel. The day after that, all the hotel was covered in ashes and the sky was a huge cloud of volcano eruption.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share fun conversations, good parties, national beers, a campfire, tours around Bogota and trips to other parts of Colombia, language and culture exchange and common interests.
