CURRENT MISSION

Make the best of my day!

ABOUT ME

I am an engineer but work in Tech Sales. I live in California and I used to live in Montreal (Canada) but I am originally from Colombia. I love to learn new things and specially about other cultures. That's why I want to stay with locals so I can see what normal people do in their cities . Love to share and listen to others live experiences. I love to learn about history especially or when a local share about their country/city.

PHILOSOPHY

I rather fail than regret.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The experience of having an incredible trip without much planning. Unexpected things make trips more existing!

Float in Misol-Ha falls in Mexico while looking at the sky. I felt like time stopped for a couple of minutes !!

Teach, Learn, Share

I speak 4 languages (Spanish, English, French and Portuguese) and I would love to practice them with people who is interested to learn. I can teach you about martial arts, Colombian and Quebecois slang, if technology interests you, I can talk you about my job.

If dancing Latin rhythms is your thing I'll be down to go hit the floor.

I'm not very artistic but I can teach you how to make Peruvian wave bracelets.

If none of them interest you, we can always share each other's life/travel experiences while we enjoy a nice meal/beer/drink
