Hello/Hallo/Olá/Hola Everyone !!

I'm Nicolas , originally from Colombia and currently doing a research stay at Purdue University, Indiana. During 2018-2019 I had the opportunity to live in Germany through a Volunteering and Couchsurfing helped me there to make a lot of friends and observe the life from a different perspective. Now, in the U.S , I would like to share experiences as well.

****Currently traveling with my boy through the U.S. We're looking forward to meet great people around the West Coast and share our Colombian experiences******

Getting in touch with people's lifestyles is my biggest passion. I've had remarkable experiences whilst travelling , and those hold it tight in my head. That´s what life is about :) To share, To help, to learn, to eat, to love.

I'm quite open -minded , progressive and enjoy sharing with new people about their interests and their lifestyles . I appreciate sincerity, simplicity and creativity in my life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

People , everybody, despite its Nationality deserve to travel , It's within our souls the inherent feeling to feel free, to watch the unknown, to taste flavors, to smell fragances, to activate our senses , to meet someone with completely opposite perspectives and Couchsurfing is the most rewarding way to achieve it.

Interests

I love many fields regarding general knowledge, geography. ethnography. linguistics and maths. All of those means learning and fun.

Im quite talkative and open to share my experiences in Latinamerica and in Europe. I consider that everything can be expressed through Music, and I enjoy listening the world. I appreciate when people talk about what they like, their smiles and emotions are worth it.
