About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I just graduated from law school and I will be traveling to Asia before I start to work as a lawyer. I know that I have to do this now because if I wait too long I'll never fulfill this dream.

ABOUT ME

I love traveling, meeting people and practice sports. Specially football (soccer). I want to travel, live different experiences, get to know other cultures.

PHILOSOPHY

Be tolerant, respectful and polite.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I joined Couchsurfing because a friend told me about this amazing experience. I wanted to prove this myself. I was with my brother when we were hosted for the first time in 2014 in Brazil. It was the exciting time of the World Cup (soccer) and we were following our team Colombia.
Then I had the opportunity to host some incredible people and show them our culture. It was a different experience for me and my family but we were glad that we did it.

Interests

I like beer, sports and getting to know a different culture.
