Hello, I'm Johan from Colombia🇨🇴!
Actually I was born in New York 🇺🇸 but raised in Bogotá, Colombia.
When I was 18 I moved to Thailand 🇹🇭 for a gap year and end up having the best year I have lived so far. Even more, taking into account the not so bright 2020 that has been kind of awful.
On late 2020 I moved to Barcelona,Spain 🇪🇸 to study for my degree on Economics, at the Autonomous University of Barcelona.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I will be doing a gap year as an assistant in a school located in Pattaya. And I'm looking forward to visiting new places in Thailand and Southeast Asia.

Okey so that why I was on CS then and basically is still my mojo. Through CS I have had the opportunity to meet really amazing people. Every single person I have met along this platform not only had been open mind and kind enough to teach me something or at least give me some advice.

Now that I am in Spain I hope to get to meet amazing people who I hope eventually I get to call my friends. Since I'm now living in Spain permanently and not just visiting as a tourist is always good to have people you can count on.

Interests

My favorite football teams are Barcelona🔴🔵 and Atlético Nacional 💚. I also into politics and economics because specifically those subjects are on what my future degree will be based on.

• full moon party
• partying
• technology
• traveling
• economics
• football
• diving
• meeting new people

Music, Movies, and Books

I like almost every music genre, but my favorites are pop, reggaeton, and rock. I love action, comedy, and horror movies, also I enjoy watching Netflix series.

Any suggestions are more than welcome!

Also if you like Friends the sitcom we will get along pretty well haha.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

-Going at the age of 18 to live an entire year to the other side of the world.

-Hitting the entire Phuket island in one day (107km) riding a motorcycle.

-Going to the full moon party in Koh Phangan

-Running into a complete stranger and asking him to ride a motorcycle with me and my friends for the afternoon and then being stopped by the police.

-Diving in the Gulf of Thailand.

-Diving in Bali

-Riding a bike in Nusa Penida (Bali), trust me is way challenging that you may think haha.

-Leaving permanently my home country and moving opposite of the Atlantic to start a new life.

-Meeting and getting to know my lost brother from another mother (Nacho) over a trip to Valencia.

Teach, Learn, Share

I will be always willing to teach some basic things of Spanish and besides that, as an ambassador of my country (Colombia🇨🇴) I can provide all the history I know in order to people see that Colombia it's not what most people think it is.

I'm not a professional dancer but I can teach you the basics of Salsa, Merengue, Bachata, and Reggaeton (Perreo🕺🏻🤣).

Perhaps if you like cooking we can cook something together otherwise I am more than happy to cook something for you, I quite enjoy cooking and most of the times the food turns up pretty delicious haha. 🍝🥘🍛

After a year in Asia, I can promise you I have a tone of stories I will be more than happy to tell you meanwhile we drink a beer. Also, I will love to learn anything someone can teach me.

As we say in Colombia you gotta try to learn something new every day otherwise is a wasted day.
