About Me

I´m an average person who loves fitness and study law. I like to do new things and adventure. I'd like to show everyone why my country is a great place and also to travel somewhere where host could maybe do so.

I'm very outgoing and I can be very flexible and tolerant about any kind of topic you'd like to talk about.

Right now, as I'm fisnishing my career, I decided to join a Work and Travel Program in the U.S., so I'll be living abroad some months and, also, will be traveling around the northern and eastern part of the country.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm a good guest and a good host, want to travel easy and I'm a free spirit person.

I consider myself a very easy going person, so I can fit to any kind of plans you have.

I've had great experiences while hosting some people from Denmark and the USA.

I see couchsurfing as a sharing lifestyle. CS is somehow a way to defeat the traditional tourism marketing and to give a higher value to people over money.

Interests

Travel, parties, fitness, adventure, eating, learn new things and enjoy life in any way possible.

I'm always looking forward at improving myself as a person so I love to face challenges.

Music, Movies, and Books

I have a wide taste for many kinds of music, specially rock, electronic, hip-hop, heavy metal, classical, latin, experimental and some others. I usually prefer underground artists better than the popular ones.

Talking of books I mostly like novels. My favorite writer is José Saramago together with J. M. Coetzee and Stephen King.
Such a mix!

I'm a passionate science topics reader also.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Rafting in the Chicamocha canyon river for 5 hours and after that, trekking for 4 hours from the base of the canyon to Los Santos town, more than 1300 m. above it.

To be at 5300 m above sea level at Sierra Nevada del Cocuy, in boyaca, Colombia.

To have a continued strong gym discipline for the last 6 years

Teach, Learn, Share

I could give you some spanish lessons, or show you something typical from Colombia like our delicious food or our traditional parties.

If you want a city tour I would be glad to show you the historical sites here and the funniest activities you can do near Bucaramanga.

Paragliding and some other extreme sports like rafting or going to the many caves near here is an option.

Also, we could have fun doing some fitness and I could teach you some tips.

Maybe I could give you some kind of gift to show you a custom from Colombia.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Anything related to my culture, language and food. I'm very open minded so I'll be ready to talk about any kind of philosophy you have. I love to show contrasts between the big variety of cultures around the world.

Teaching and learning languages would be great.

I'm also pretty friendly, have a good sense of humor and I'm very adaptable.

I would be glad to help you cleaning if necessary and I can fill up my spare time outside if you are busy during the day.
