I am a Biologist from Colombia, currently doing an International Master in Applied Ecology in Europe. I love to travel around the world and to step outside my confort zone. I get quite exited with the smallest details of life, a good song, a good vegetarian dish, a nice smile, a tasty coffee. I like to share with people my latin culture and to get to know other ways of living and thinking about the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to travel but not like a regular tourist. I believe that the best way of traveling is by knowing and talking with local people that can show you the best authentic places of the country where they live. For this reason I will like to host people at my place and to experience the same in other countries.

Interests

I love climbing and diving. I like all type of adventures and I am very interested in ethno botany, or the way people heal the illness with the use of plants.
