About Me

I’d describe myself as a mix of laid-back and deeply curious. I love long conversations, small discoveries, and meaningful connections. Whether it’s hiking up a mountain, getting lost in a new city, or just talking about life over a home-cooked meal, I’m usually in my happy place when there’s learning and sharing involved.

I try to live mindfully, value simplicity, and stay open to unexpected experiences. I’ve found that some of the best moments happen when plans don’t go as expected.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I believe travel isn’t just about places, it’s about people. I love the idea of building connections wherever I go — learning from locals, sharing who I am, and contributing in whatever way I can. For me, Couchsurfing is about cultural exchange, generosity, and creating small moments of human warmth around the world.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music:
I’m into indie, folk, Latin rock, and anything that makes you want to dance or feel something. I also love acoustic sets and live music.

Movies:
I enjoy thought-provoking films, creative animation, documentaries, and anything with a strong emotional story.

Books:
I love stories that explore people — how they think, feel, and connect. I’m a big fan of Jane Austen (yes, I’m that person who rereads Pride and Prejudice just for the dialogue). I really enjoy novels that mix emotion, cleverness, and a bit of social commentary.

I also like getting lost in fiction that makes you feel something or leaves you thinking for a while. Some of my favorites are: The Shadow of the Wind and Norwegian Wood

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the most amazing things I’ve done is travel solo to different countries — like Argentina and the UK — and explore them not just as a tourist, but with curiosity and an open mind. Every trip has pushed me out of my comfort zone and reminded me how many ways there are to live, connect, and enjoy the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some fun things — like how to make a Colombian arepa, take better photos on your phone, or even explain a bit of how data and AI work (in a chill way, promise 😄).

I'd love to learn more about your local food, traditions, or language

Mostly, I just love sharing real conversations, travel stories, and simple moments — cooking together, walking around your favorite spots, or just talking about life.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I bring good energy, curiosity, and a lot of appreciation for being welcomed into someone’s home. I’m clean, respectful, and happy to help out — whether it’s cooking, tidying up, or just sharing company. I’d love to cook a Colombian meal for you, help with small tasks if needed, or simply hang out and swap travel stories. I truly enjoy cultural exchange — learning how you live, and sharing a bit of where I come from too.
