Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I think i had the most wonderful experience by traveling with couch surfing. During summer '09 i was doing an interrail trip across europe and i coudnt have it better. i met the most wonderful people thanks to CS and also i had the best experience i have ever had so far in my life.

Interests

My hobbies include running, hiking, skating (rolling skates), yoga, SALSA DANCING of course.

Music, Movies, and Books

I really enjoy all latinamerican authors, groups, singers, directors, actors.
Catupecu machu, fito paez, andres calamaro, bahiano, manu chau etc.
Dream pop and bedroom pop are included into my newest playlists... I like to chill to music.
Mario Vargas Llosa, Efraim Medina, Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Amores Perros, Madeinusa, La gente de la universal

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

For new years 2019 I was traveling in Vietnam in Ho Chi Ming city alone. I didn't know anyone so I created a CS meeting for dinner in a hotpot place. At least 15 people showed up including locals, expats and travellers... It was such a rewarding experience to have friends everywhere you go!!!

Seeing the sun rising in Machu Picchu after more than an hour hiking... it was amazing, spiritual and full of energy.

Meeting friends that live outside of Colombia has been a recently rewarding experience, you get the comfort of a really familiar environment while you explore a new place. Having friends around the world it's really gratifying.

Teach, Learn, Share

The most important thing for me is to change the point of view all the world have from Colombia and it´s people. We are much more than war, violence and drugs.
Learning everyday to be my better self and trying to give that to the ones around me.

Friendly conversations I am an eager listener, I can share about my own experiences, I can give travel advice in Latin America.
