CURRENT MISSION

To keep searching and doing things that make me happy

ABOUT ME

I grew up in Bogotá, Colombia and was very lucky to have a wonderful upbringing. When I graduated from school I moved to Australia to study Ecotourism. I met lots of wonderful people there and got to do a lot of fun activities like bushwalking and rockclimbing as part of my course. I spent the past few years working in outdoor education and have loved it! I have moved back to Colombia and I´m looking to start my own business in which I can combine experiential education with social responsibility.

PHILOSOPHY

One of the best thing I've learnt in Australia... NO WORRIES!! Try and enjoy the little things in life and appreciate what you've got.

I also think that the world would be a better place if we had more camping and less "facebooking"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Although I just recently registered, I have lived with a few CS members so I guess I've been involved in the couch surfing experience for a while. I enjoyed meeting people from all over the world and having them stay at our place so I finally decided to join.

Interests

Spending time outdoors and traveling.

I really enjoy playing (and watching) soccer, hiking, camping, mountain biking,etc...and if I could I would spend most of my time rock climbing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing things I've seen and done are always related to traveling. Backpacking in South America was an amazing experience because I got to see some of the most beautiful places I've ever been to like Uyuni, the Colca Canyon, Patagonia, etc. I also got to meet the people and different cultures that make South America a wonderful place.
Living in Australia was also wonderful. I met some of my closest friends there and had an amazing time there. I went bushwalking, canyoning and learned how to climb, and now I cannot imagine my lie without these activities!
