Hi I´m Julian. Im from Bogotá, Colombia. I studied visual arts in Bogotá. Currently I am doing a master in Animation in Belgium. I love travelling and meeting new people, and I love beer, but more important, l love animals, specially dogs. I have two big dogs and since l left my home l miss them like crazy. I love art history. My favourite artists are Egon Schiele and William Kentridge and my favourite musician is John Frusciante.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because is another way of travelling and l am eager to get to know other cultures through locals, and also to share mine, either by staying with someone or receiving in Colombia or in Ghent. I am very easy going, of course l would love to share some moments with my host, depending on his/her schedule, that l would definetly respect. I have heard so many amazing stories about couchsurfing that l would love to be lucky enough to experience some by myself.
