I am a traveler, I like and respect diversity, I love to experiment as if I was a local, I love to get to know the culture of the place I am visiting, its music, fashion, party, gastronomy, it's people ... I love photographies, they are my memories ... you can look them up on my instagram: @lauuuf
Music is an easygoing thing for me, especially playing instruments but I never had the discipline to take a full course. The thing I was passionated and determinated was with languages, when I was 4 years old I already was fluent in English and Spanish, I had the opportunity to grow up in Boston, even though I was born in Bogotá, then I studied French and Mandarin Chinese.
The world is full of opportunities, I do not want to miss out in any of them.
In 2019 had a new adventure in Italy! And now I'm living in Portugal!

Soy viajera, me gusta y respeto la diversidad, me encanta experimentar como si fuera una local, amo conocer la cultura del lugar que esté visitando, su música, moda, fiesta, la gastronomía, su gente... me encantan las fotos, los recuerdos... para muestra mis instagram: @lauuuf
Se me facilita la música, en especial tocar los instrumentos pero nunca tuve el juicio para tomar un curso completo. Con lo que si fui disciplinada fue con los idiomas, a los 4 años ya era bilingüe, tuve la oportunidad de crecer en Boston, aunque nací en Bogotá, después estudié francés y chino mandarín.
El mundo está lleno de oportunidades, no quiero desaprovechar ninguna de ellas.
En 2019 viví una nueva aventura en Italia!!! Y ahora vivo en Portugal!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I feel it's a community where I fit, we all travel and share the traveling knowhow and secrets, I am a fan of giving helping out my friends and acquaintances with tips, such as: do not take dollars to Cuba, it's better if you take euros because the rate will favor you ... Eat pink dragonfruit in the Dominican Republic, or I'll just help you out to get your american visa (no charge)...
I travel because I believe in a collaborative society, because I know that everywhere there are people willing to help and that they know that the balance of life will be the best reward.

Siento que es una comunidad en la que encajo, donde todos viajamos y compartimos en knowhow viajero, soy fan de dar tips viajeros a mis amigos y conocidos, tipo no lleves dólares a Cuba, sino euros porque la tasa te va a favorecer... come pink dragonfruit en República Dominicana, yo te ayudo a hacer los trámites de la visa gringa y no te cobro...
Viajo porque creo en una sociedad colaborativa, porque sé que en todas partes hay gente dispuesta a ayudar y que sabe que el equilibrio de la vida será la mejor recompensa.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Stop being an extreme consumist to try to lead a minimalist life.I have always wanted to hitchhike or backpacking, hopefully this or the other year I can put those here!

Dejar de ser consumista en extremo a tratar de llevar una vida minimalista.

Teach, Learn, Share

Transmitting knowledge as oral tradition is magical, more if it is acquired empirically.

I love language and cultural exchanges.
