CURRENT MISSION

Explore the world as it was my own city

ABOUT ME

I'm the nicest guy you might ever meet yet sometimes confused as naive. I was born and raised in my beloved Bogotá, Colombia (South America), which means I'm a hugger by nature --among other things-- I arrived to the United States in August 12, 1999 to a very small town in Alabama called Gadsden. Nowadays, I live where midtown Atlanta ends and uptown Atlanta begins (a.k.a. Buckhead). I graduated from Clayton State University on May 13, 2006 with a Bachelor of Information Technology but due to many circumstances I'm NOT currently exercising such passion as my career.

My close friends consider me fun, sarcastic, laid back, a clean freak, straightforward, a good dancer, polite, intelligent, goofy, cheerful, a bit stubborn, tolerant, open-minded, responsible, generous....uhmmm...etc.

Oh, and I am gay in case that matters to you. It sure doesn't matter to me if you are straight or bisexual or curious or gay. We all are equal under my eyes.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe LOVE = LIFE, so I really seize every minute of my life alone or with friends, and I value all experiences that come my way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I enjoyed hosting and surfing with anybody that could potentially get along with me (almost anybody, really). Just follow the golden rule and all will be awesome!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far, excellent!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I drove from San Francisco to Los Angeles via the Pacific Coast Highway and the views are awesome!

I have seen how the Panama Canal functions, which is amazing engineering given the time and terrain conditions on which such was built.

I have always been reliable to my friends. They know my shoulders and ears are always available as my advise is.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'll gladly teach you my native language, Spanish, and share what my culture is about with you. The media often overemphazises the negatives.

I would love to re-learn French, so any native speakers please hit me up and/or stay with me :-)
