I'm Jeison, 27 years old. I'm a Colombian language teacher who recently graduated from his masters degree in clinical linguistics and in teaching Spanish as a foreign language. I’m currently looking for inspiration for my PhD proposal. I love learning about different cultures, different languages, and different philosophies in life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people and sharing experiences and dreams with them. I have learned so much from people who have different views in life, and those interactions are just priceless to me.
I also believe that helping each other is the way to go when it comes to co-existing on our beautiful planet.

Interests

Basketball. Singing. Drawing.

Music, Movies, and Books

Bruno Mars. Adele. Shawn Mendes. The weekend.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of my best adventures was a 3-day camping trip in the amazing Tayrona Natural Park in Colombia with some friends.
I also spent the night in central park in NY. Yeah, I slept on a bench, hehehhe.
One of the most incredible things I have done was accepting the challenge of teaching at a university when I was 22 years old, for I learned and grew so much both personally and professionally.
I also jumped into a frozen lake in Minnesota as part of the Polar plunge that raised money to help our paralympic athletes.
I swam in a Finnish freezing lake after relaxing in a Finnish Sauna 🧖‍♂️

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you Spanish and English, for I am a language teacher. I like dancing Salsa, bachata, merengue, and I can teach you guys some moves. I am not very good at reggeaton or perreo, but I can teach you to move your hips as well. If we can get the right flour, we can cook arepas together.
I also adore basketball and have played since I was little we can shoot some hoops together.
I'm currently brushing up on my French.
I'd like to learn how to cook better and I want to learn how to play more board games; I feel like I'm not big on those games.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good conversations and exchange of experiences. We can dance and sing together if they like that. I can cook and help in the house as well.
