Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been in Couchsurfing since 2010 and I love being part of this amazing traveler community because I have been able to learn by interacting with people from everywhere. I have had the chance to participate in different activities in Bogota and it's been great to get to know people and make new friends. Some people I met over 10 years ago have become my closest friends. I'm thankful for that since they have supported me through thick and thin.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Spanish. I can talk about coffee brewing methods for hours. 😊☕😄
If you come to Bogota, I will be more than willing to go hiking with you.
