CURRENT MISSION

to learn French!

ABOUT ME

Born and raised in the highlands in South America. I was surrounded by mountains and lakes, and I think that defined my personality.

Although I lived in the city, I just love nature, and my favorite vacations are those where I can be in the middle of nowhere. I love camping, trekking, and hiking.

I went to Journalism school in Colombia, so I try to write as much as possible about real life events.

PHILOSOPHY

Today is good, but tomorrow is better!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try to go as many CS activities as possible to meet people from all around the world. I listen to their stories and learn as much as I can.

Interests

I´m interested in anything that has to do with the Andean region (people, indigenous groups, architecture, music, literature, landscapes).

I studied photography in college, so I have to say I enjoy capturing the Andes in pictures.
I swim (not very disciplined) whenever I´m in the mood.

I read latin american literature, and I watch independent and foreign films. I eat as much as possible!

But above all, I love camping Andean style, not in comfy parks where you have access to a bathroom and WiFi.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

What I have seen might not seem amazing for many people, but I will never forget how I felt in the cold, foggy, green mountains of Colombia.
