I am Colombian, anthropologist, father of a beautiful baby of 18 months, lover of sports, movies, Latin dances, but above all to know new cultures, new perspectives of seeing life, new people.

I love traveling, I have already done it for more than half of my country, and recently I started traveling outside of my country. I was able to travel to Venezuela (1991 and 2009), Argentina and Uruguay (2015) Mexico (2017). My dream traveler is to travel to at least one country in each region of the world. In 2018 I decided to make a great trip (at least for me), Go to Europe, in transit to the 2018 World Cup and to finish the job, travel to Morocco. Likewise, I will take the opportunity to sustain my degree work from my Master in Social Intervention in the city of Logroño, Spain.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I love traveling and getting to know new cultures, new people, different ways of seeing life, listening and sharing travel experiences, receiving and being received, joining ties with people from all over the world, that's why I chose my career and professional destiny, and that's why I chose to join Couchsurffing.
