I am a 28-year-old "rola" (from Bogotá, Colombia), who decided to take a break from my routine life. I am a mechanical engineer and currently in the process of applying for an MSc in Europe. I decided to complete the application process while traveling and getting to know this continent a bit better.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This is my first experience as a backpacker. I started in Spain, arrived in Switzerland, and plan to continue exploring new places and meeting wonderful people along the way. I have traveler friends who recommended this platform to connect with travelers and join this beautiful community safely and comfortably.

Interests

I love talking about any topic, I love coffee above all things, I am interested in learning about this traveler lifestyle, and I want to make long-term connections and friendships.

• dancing
• learning languages
• learning new things
• diving
• meeting new people
• trekking and camping

Music, Movies, and Books

I am the #1 salsa dancing fan. I love Colombian and Latin American folklore.
I like popular science books, but I am always looking for new literature on biographies, war conflicts, and I enjoy exploring Latin American artist and the culture of my people through literature and music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing I have ever done is diving. It is my happy activity, and it is what I enjoy doing the most, even though I haven't done it as much as I would like.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have always carried my "metaphorical backpack": I am always interested in learning as much as I can from people and situations. With my backpack on my shoulder for the first time in my life, I love the opportunity to teach whatever I can to anyone who finds my life experience useful.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Cultural and language exchange, I am not a teacher but I teach how to dance Latin rhythms, conversations about almost anything, super good energy to help with whatever I can and learn from those I meet.
