About Me

Well, I'm a relaxed architect who likes having fun, being with friends, maybe play a good video game or try new things that might be fun. I´m a totally opened mind person that gets along great with other people. I consider myself a great host and will always ask if something I do upsets you. I'm really staright forward and will let you know if something your doing is making me unconfortable, ofcourse al ways in a good and friendly manner. I live with a friend and his girlfriend, a cat and a dog. Right now our place is looking kinda hippie and that´s what you can expect from me, but again I always try to make my guests confortable for I strongly believe in Karma. :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really like meeting new people. Last couple of foreign persons that I have met have been great and have taught me so much about lots of things; their culture, their social reality, etc. This has really made me wanna save and travel abroad and get to know all those places I´ve never been to. I´ve never been out of Colombia and knowing people from all over the world is helping me achieve a goal, go around the globe.

Interests

I really like good movies, not only hollywood but all the great movies that are made all over the world. I like partying or just having a drink here in the apartment with a bunch of friends. I love music all kinds of it, well I´m not really into Rap but lately I´ve heard some good Rap, again I try to be very open mind. I´m currently cooking a lot, didn't cook that much a year ago, and I have really liked it. It would be great to get to know how to cook a local dish from people that get to come here or to cook something local for them.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favourite band is Soda Stereo, I love gogol bordello and La rue Kétanou. I like Gaspar Noe's "Enter the void" a lot and I really really love Hayao Miyazaki's work. My favourite book was written from a local writter that was called Andres Caicedo, its name is "Que viva la musica".

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I coordinated the extension of one of the buildings of a very popular restaurant here called WOK. I commited what has been probably the worse mistake in my career, but everything gets cool when you eat in the place, it's absolutely great.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you that most of colombian people are pretty decent and good. I wanna learn everything I can. Share, a Couch with a nice morning view and a hot meal.

What I Can Share with Hosts

We have a great couch, lots of blankets and a hammock. I can also share my books and a meal when I cook. Oh and I always share a good Canelazo.
