25 years old Colombian based in Istanbul, Turkey. I’ve been living here for the past 2 years and I am currently working as the account manager for an advertising agency here.

I like to take breaks in between my routines, I am usually pretty busy since I am always working, studying my masters, learning Turkish, going to the gym and etc, so I appreciate solo traveling as a way of centering and reconnecting with myself.

I love a good meal, good drink, good party as much as I love a chilled day in which I can workout, read a book, listen to a podcast or do some meditation.

I speak Spanish, English, Portuguese and some Turkish.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am here mostly to find a friend on that city that I am planning to visit. I’ve found how great it’s to land on a new place and already know you’re coming to someone friendly. Also, I do appreciate the great vow of faith of someone letting me stay at their place.

Music, Movies, and Books

Currently reading a lot for my masters degree, but on the personal side I am more into the novels and the business perspective.
Music anything from electronic music to reggaetón, to classical music (I love piano).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Watching the fireworks during New Years in Rio de Janeiro.

Teach, Learn, Share

Validation comes from within.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am very respectful, clean and neat, this is the basics I know, but it’s important for me to highlight that. On the other hand, I am very outgoing and sometimes I can’t shut up if the conversation is going nicely ahaha I love to listen new points of view and perspective on many things.
