Overview
About Me
I grew up in Bogotá Colombia and graduated from an international school (swiss, actually).
I study Law in a great University here in Bogotá, I'm an amateur photographer (wannabe), love water ports and hiking (though I don't hike nearly enough to call myself a hiker).
I'm also an urban cyclist in Bogotá.
Right now I'm living and studying in Tübingen, Germany for a year as an exchange student. My hope is to perfect my german and get to know Germany better.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I'm studying abroad in Germany for a year, to better my german. While here I want to travel a lot and get to see as much as I can from this amazing continent :D
I love to travel ever since I was really young, but I still have way too many places to visit so cochsurfing seems like a good idea.
Interests
As I already said:
Photography, biking, all things water related, hiking, traveling... I also love reading novels, knitting, and learning about sustainability.

Music, Movies, and Books
All time favorite music genre: classic rock.
Music to study with: progressive rock or contemporary pianists.
My favorite movie last year was Hotel Budapest.
I also love dramas and I cry very easily and love to cry it out like it's the end of the world.
All time favorite books:
El amor en los tiempos del cólera (love in the time of cholera) - Gabriel García Márquez.
La última escala del Tramp Steamer - Álvaro Mutis.
Harry Potter :)
And so many other books!
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Start using my bike for transportation even though I'm a girl on a very hostile city, and I live very far away (mine's one of the longest commutes I know of). It's great!
I also got an article published in an academic magazine about international regulation for space tourism which is a really funny subject that doesn't get talked about much.
Teach, Learn, Share
I'd love to stay somewhere I can practice German, because I have forgotten almost everything I knew and my purpose for this year is to get really good at it.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Bike enthusiasm. Travel enthusiasm. The random knowledge of someone who spends way too much time on the internet. Innumerable anecdotes. Many pictures of our time together.
I'm also a bit of a technology geek, so while I don't know much about why things work (I'm a law student, not an engineer), I do know that there's an app for that, whatever "that" is. That app also probably does 5 more things and can be updated via the cloud so you can use it on all of your devices. It also does "that", but better, trust me, you have to try it. :)
