About Me

CURRENT MISSION

being my own boss! B-]

ABOUT ME

I was born and happily raised in Bogota, Colombia, where I lived until I finished uni. Then in 2001 I took off to Barcelona looking for more exciting professional opportunities. I lived in Barcelona for almost 3 years and took a masters in computer animation. Then I moved to Denmark and lived there for about 8 years. Now I'm living in Montreal, Canada.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I embarked on my first CS trip in Feb. 2008. Met great CSers in Russia, Thailand, India, Switzerland and France. The meetings in Moscow and Bangkok were a great way to meet a lot of travellers at once. In Calcutta and in Madrid I posted messages on the city's group, and that got me in contact with very friendly people that very same day. I have even been approached by fellow couchsurfers at a cybercafe, when they see I'm using the site. Very nice and direct way to strike a conversation! :)
