ABOUT ME

I was born in Colombia and grew up in Ecuador, from a colombian mother and a french father, and at 18 I moved to France to study.
Then I started working doing different temporary jobs for about a year and a half and finally I worked in handling for business aviation which was a great experience!
I moved several times in France, first in Saint Etienne near Lyon, then in Marseille, then Aix-en-Provence, then Cannes and finally Paris!

I think I'm a curious person, easy-going, very open, I like to see and discover new things, meet new people, and I love moving around!

PHILOSOPHY

Live the life, always be amazed!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Lately not much unfortunately, but when I had the chance I really enjoyed hosting people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

When I was in Aix en Provence, the girlfriend I had at the time and I had a CS account and we hosted lots of people, Aix is a very popular destination for people who come to the south of France!
We met real nice people and we really enjoyed talking for hours and getting to know everyone we hosted, each and every one of them had so many stories to tell and they loved hearing ours as well...
I find that CS is an incredibly rich human experience, a reminder that you can get so much from the simplest of things that is knowing new people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbing the Cotopaxi volcano in Ecuador, nthe highest active volcano in the world with 5900m. A mental and physical challenge that showed to me that when you really want something you can get it through effort and perseverance!
Flying in gliders last summer in the Alps, an incredible mixture of extreme feelings: amazement and fear for my life!

Teach, Learn, Share

I remember teaching how to dance salsa to some of our guests, that was great fun! I also tried to reassure people who were afraid to travel by plane, I don't know if it worked though...!
I like to learn from everything!
