Lo mejor es lo que siempre pasa...

Hola, me llamo Jorge, soy arquitecto y nací en la ciudad de Valledupar, en Colombia.

Tengo una familia fuera de lo común, en el sentido en que somos “cruzados”... Mi papá es paisa y mi mamá costeña, crecí en un barrio histórico de Valledupar en medio de libros, papel y lápices con las miradas complacientes y malcriantes de mi abuela y mi tío. A raíz de eso creo que siento que no me puedo quedar quieto: lo cuestiono todo, lo observo todo, y quiero verlo todo. Desde pequeño ojeaba los libros de mi tío que mostraban lugares distantes y surreales. Pensé que el mundo era un lugar que había que conocer.

Por eso siempre que puedo empaco mis maletas y saco alguna excusa para viajar.

The best what always happens.

Hi, my name is Jorge, I’m an architect from the colombian city of Valledupar.

I come from a “crossbred” family in Colombia, paisa dad and costeña mom, it’s a rarity. I grew up in a historical neighborhood of valledupar, between books, paper, color pencils and the spoiling looks of my grandma and uncle. While looking to my uncles books, I always knew that the world was waiting for me to explore.

That’s why every time I can I come up with some excuse to pack my bags an travel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I lived one year in Italy and was lucky enough to meet Simona, she explained me all about couch surfing, and now I always check it out every time I travel.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once with my thesis mates we climbed a little mount with some kids of a town called Guane in Colombia, so we would reach a wooden white cross that you can see from the town's main square. The landscape was beautiful and the moment was awesome.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've been said that i'm like a little wikipedia, and I can tell things with crude or soft tone. I'm interested in everything, particularly what is hidden and unsolved.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I always travel with traditional Colombian sweets, I can also cook some traditional Colombian food. I think the best thing I can offer is my open mind to talk about anything.
