About Me

I'm a Colombian new traveller (previous tourist). I quit my job and my life in Australia to live my dream, which is travelling around the world with purpose. I'm an Industrial Engineer with a dual master degree in Business Administration and Global Project Management but to be honest I haven't felt attached to that title.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Well, I used to be just a tourist, but I’ve realized I want to be a true traveler, immersing myself in the real culture of each place I visit. Couchsurfing offers a perfect way to connect with locals, share experiences, and expand my perspective. I’m here to not only see new places but to feel them—through genuine conversations, cultural exchanges, and, of course, the amazing local food! I’m ready to be amazed by the world’s diversity and the incredible people who make each place unique.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing I’ve done is offering help to someone who could never repay me—it was a reminder of how meaningful human connections can be. And the most breathtaking sight I’ve experienced was the Himalayas. There’s something so pure and untouched about its natural beauty; it truly left me in awe. But I believe there’s beauty to be found in everything, and I love discovering it wherever I go.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I’m a respectful, clean, and tidy traveler who genuinely values the chance to connect with others. As your guest, I’ll be more than happy to lend a hand around the house, whether it’s helping with kids, cooking, or keeping things neat.

Being from Colombia, I would love to share a taste of my culture with you—from teaching Spanish and English to sharing Colombian traditions, and, of course, some delicious Latin recipes if you’re up for it! I also teach salsa and merengue, so if you’re interested, I’d be thrilled to get you dancing.

I’m here to create meaningful connections, learn from others, and hopefully leave a little bit of Colombia with each of my hosts. Looking forward to meeting you and making some great memories together!
