About Me

Colombian Scottish man who grew up all over the place, love to travel and live with a hippy vibe

Practicing photographer/artist who wants to travel and make art as a reflection of my travels and life experiences :)

Insta: http://www.instagram.com/icmb_

Grew up in Colombia, Vietnam, Belgium, Sri Lanka and China before going to University
Love to skate, travel and meet people from all different walks of life, life is about experiences and connections with people while creating art.

not really used couch surfing (eventhough I have had this account for ages) so still figuring it out!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To travel and meet people all over the place and make art, and just share travel experiences and stories, the world is far to shut off with technology and needs more personal interactions :P

love to have people round in Edinburgh sometime!
