About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Be veeeeeeeeeeeery happy!!! Ser muuuuuuuuuuuuuy feliz!!!!!! :D

ABOUT ME

I'm a very happy and active person! That makes it a little hard to host couchsurfers because I tend to spend a lot of time outside of my home! And when I'm at home I love hanging out with my cats :)

PHILOSOPHY

"It's a shame to partake in anything that doesn't absolutely make you tremble with joy"
(This quote is stolen from a supercool band that I ran into on the beach in Santa Barbara, CA)

"I dont suffer from madness, I enjoy it every moment"
I just stole this quote of one of my friends' profiles hahaha sorry! Just think it's very very good!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hace unos anos hospedé a mucha gente. Ya no tengo tanto tiempo y por eso ya no soy tan activa. Aunque me gusta mucho hospedar gente bacana! Hay fiestas chéveres aquí pero a mí me hacen falta los parceros a quienes le gusta el perreo :( A todos mis parceros de aquí les gusta la música electrónica!

I used to be a very active host here in Amsterdam!!! But then I got a little older, got to be super busy etc etc!!! So now I'll try to get back into hosting every once in a while!!!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Tengo mucha experienca hospediendo a surfers y también surfeando sofas en muchos países!! He surfeado en Estados Unídos, Venezuela, Puerto Rico, la República Dominicana, Colombia, Mexico, Guyana-Francés, Guyana-Inglés, Suriname, Brasil, Finlandía y Alemania. Mis experiencias surfeando sofas en latino-America eran tan chéveres que ahora solo quiero viajar a Latino-America y conocer mas países latinos!

I've both hosted and surfed! I have surfed in lots of different countries and so far 99,9% of my hosts have been pretty awesome!!! I've surfed in Colombia, Mexico, the US, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Venezuela, Suriname, British and French Guyana, Brazil, Finland and Germany and it's been fantastically COOL!! I love surfing, meeting new ppl and getting to know their culture!!! My couchsurfing experiences in South America made me a complete fan of the concept of couchsurfing!!! I've surfed with entire families and have gotten to know the fantastic Colombian culture!!!

Interests

ADVENTURE!!!!!! I need adrenaline, happiness, hyperactivity and craziness!!! Other things that really interest me are my friends, my cat, Colombia, latin-american history, latin-american music, latin-american bailes, the environment, the brain, etc etc etc

Music, Movies, and Books

Mis libros favoritos son Rosaria Tijeras y Pa'que se acabe la vaina. Aunque me parece que todos los libros de William Ospina son buenísimos! También me gusta mucho 'Las venas abiertas de latino america' de Eduardo Galeano! Me ha ensenado mucho sobre la historia de latino-America! El 'Evangelio del Monstruo de Espagueti Volador' me parece muy interesante y chistoso. Yo creo mucho en él!

Some of my favorite books are Rosario Tijeras, Pa'que se acabe la vaina, The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy'. Favorite movies are 'The Garden State', Into the Wild, También la lluvía, Retratos en un mar de mentiras, Como el gato y el ratón. My favorite artists are Tom Waits, Calle 13, Romeo Santos, Aventura, Prince Royce, the Scissor sisters, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Chocquibtown, Monsieur Periné, the Dire Straits, Eels, Spinvis, Manu Chao, the Baseballs y Juanes.
