About Me

Hi, I'm a 28-year-old Colombian woman, deeply passionate about life and probably one of the most curious people you'll ever meet. Depth and Balance are my favorite words. Years ago, I discovered that exploring the world is my favorite adventure. I’ve been volunteering in California for over a month now, finally on the path to speaking English (it seems possible!) and continuing to learn that the most important journey is the one within.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Honestly, I love meeting not just new people but incredible individuals who can create something extraordinary from the ordinary; people who can share their interesting lives and exchange stories and motivations, feeling inspired by them. I love learning new things—anything under the sun, really.

I enjoy experiencing travel just as the locals do.

There are three things that interest me the most when I travel: people, food, and culture. And Couchsurfing can cover all three!

I prefer to travel slowly and immerse myself in the local, everyday life. I also run a hostel in Medellín, and I know that connecting with people from the city you’re visiting can change everything.

I have many friends around the world and believe that abundance exists in the universe—it's about trusting. For me, abundance is in a conversation, a new place, or good company. Through this platform, I’ve made friends on some of my journeys whom I still keep in touch with, even after more than six years.

Interests

I'm passionate about exploring the world in meaningful ways, while running a Hostel in the mountains of Medellín. I divide my time between managing the hostel, swimming, dancing salsa, and creative activities like photography and writing. I'm fascinated by deep conversations, self-discovery, learning languages, and finding the perfect balance between adventure and quiet reflection.
