Just a Colombian city boy living in the most famous urban jungle: New York City! 🇨🇴 🗽

🏳️‍🌈🌼🐕 Gay, open minded, nature lover, dog lover, and a lover in general.

Definitely a backpacker, a dancer and a singer in the shower. I love discovering new places, meeting new people, talking, and learning new things. ✨

Capricorn 🐐. Moon in Sagittarius 🌙. Vegetarian, well, pescatarian, you know! Let’s leave it in flexitarian! 😋

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because you meet beautiful people here! 😊

Everyone is so different and unique, and everyone has their own particular story to tell. I love listening to all those stories, connecting with people and making new friends. Learning from them and sharing my culture and good vibes! 🙌🏻✨

Music, Movies, and Books

🪩 MUSIC:

I enjoy most genres, but I have to say that I love Pop! Ariana, Taylor, Beyoncé. Girl! I can keep going.

📝 BOOKS:

Right now I’m into memoirs. The last one I read was, ‘The French Ingredient’ by Jane Bertch, very recommended. And now I’m reading, ‘I curse you with Joy’ by Tiffany Haddish. Love how direct and honest she is!

🎬 MOVIES:

My favorite director of all times is Wes Anderson. My favorite movie of all times is Moulin Rouge. My favorite series, I can't pick yet. I’m watching the 2nd season of ‘Eva Lasting’ and I’m biting my nails, crying and laughing. So good dude!

Teach, Learn, Share

What can I teach you? 😌☝🏻
Definitely Spanish. Claro que sí.

What would I like to learn? 🤩🙏🏻
Everything about your culture. I'd like to know your POV of things. I'd love to learn more languages and also practice my French!

What can I share? 🙌🏻⚡
My good energy, my culture, my story and my way to see this life. I can take you to the most touristic places and the hidden gems here in NYC and in BOG.

What I Can Share with Hosts

All you've read to this point. Plus laughs and smiles and positive vibes. ✨

I'm a very organized and clean person, so don't worry for bad odors or a messy couch.

⚠️ WARNING: get ready to try new food, shake your ass, paint a portrait of me, play board games, have long walks, and long conversations. 😋
