About Me
Current mission: Travel as if there's no tomorrow.
Dream about being a Dramatherapist. ❤
For now, young, dreamer, volunteer, writer, reader, actress, chorist, artist, student and human with a heart.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I am passionate about cultures, travelling and getting to know people, I am here mostly because I want to travel to find my place in the world and make new friends along the way.
I am a traveler, volunteer, writer, student and artist who is passionate about cultures, teaching and languages. Colombian and Spanish, currently living in Montreal, Quebec. Which is for now, to me, the most beautiful in the world.
I intent do do le Tour Du Monde and my next destination is Europe since I'm currently taking a time off from my university, so that I can experience something different, something new, get out of my comfort zone, practice my french, gain experience for my career as a Social Worker and learn as much as I can.
I am keen of theatre, music and cinema, and I'm involved in the Improv community of Montreal.
I think new cultures and the friends we find along the way are my inspiration for travelling and I intend to make the most of it, as an experience that I am certain will allow me to share with the world the stories I have to tell and to learn from those whom I'll interact with.

Teach, Learn, Share
Teach:

I want to learn from your culture, and have as many conversations as possible.
