Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couchsurfing because I like talking to people from all around the world. I like travelling and I have been helped by couchsurfers. I have also hosted some people but the means has been different. I am arranging my place so that I can offer a place to stay at least on the weekend.

Interests

I love traveling and meeting people and cultures from all around the world. I love spending time with my boyfriend and with my friends as well. I enjoy cooking and food. I love listenging to radio stations from everywhere. I like reading about Astrology and Earth movements. I like observing the weather along the year everywhere I am. I like dancing and listening to all kind of music, specially Dance, Electronic, rock, salsa, ska, reggae, merengue and parrandera antioqueña. I like going for walks.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once, I got stuck in a Peruvian road between Puerto Maldonado and Juliaca for 3 days. I had no more money left and was eagerly expecting to get to the next city to get a money order. All locals in the bus fed me cheered me up. That was a wonderful and meaningful experience.
