About Me

I'm a happy, very passionate, easy going, caffeine addict and a little distracted at times Colombian girl, who enjoys traveling, cooking, swimming, learning languages, reading and sharing with people. Also I enjoy photography, I like to keep myself busy, so I do courses online and try to take advantage of my free time to workout or just hangout.

I do like to party and to dance, I enjoy doing it once in a while...
I like healthy living, therefore I don´t do drugs, don't smoke, don't drink much alcohol, although I love wine and I'm trying to reduce the amount of coffee intake per day (it's really hard! Coffee is so good!). You can always catch me up reading about nutrition, how to better cook food, how to improve your health through food, natural medicine, agriculture, fruits, vegetables, vegetarianism, baking (which I personally love!! and always though is good to reward yourself with something comforting and sweet right after lunch... Dessert is my favorite part of the day!), I also care about sports in general; I like to search different ways to workout (I do not consider myself a fitness person, not even close... but anyhow, I'm just trying to be more healthy, and this always requires a bit of exercise... So I'm always looking forward into different ways to do it and not get bored.) I'm very much into being environmental friendly, reducing contamination, recycle, etc... The list is looooong... let's stop right here.

Finally guys... I'm going to be studying French in Strasbourg during a year, so I hope to see you around!

Music, Movies, and Books

I like the classic, but I'm also into the new ones... Rock and Roll is always a must! Alternative to hang around, Electronic to work out, Salsa, Merengue, latin rythms to party, Reggae to chill, Classic or Instrumental to focus, and mix of everything to cook!
Movies:
I like action, suspense, romance, drama, Marvel movies, the ones with a lot of blood (Quentin Tarantino), the ones based on books, Independent films (Although I do not always understand, I appreciate it), I love watching movies in general so this will always be a good plan. In terms of TV I don't watch that much, but I always enjoy a good serie, like TWD. I also love to revive the old ones, the ones I grew up with, Alf, A dream of Jenny, Get Smart, Bewitched, The Jetsons, etc...
Books:
I like reading in general, I try to read everyday, the news, stories from people, blogs, but if I have to choose I'll say that most of the time I read novels and I love them... My favorite ones "El amor en los tiempos de Colera" and "Como agua para chocolate"

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Backpacking through a part of Europe with my mom and sister, it was an awesome experience! We did one of my mother's dream come true, it was a kind of magic!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm not an expert but I can teach you English, Spanish, or Portuguese, may be we could do we could do language exchange or I can teach you how to cook...
I am really into learning French, so I appreciate if you would like to teach me, also I would like to learn some others like German, Russian, or Croatian... Why not?

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my cooking skills, we can arrange a dinner, lunch or breakfast, we can also bake, prepare desserts... Anything is good... My love for pizza that I can share too... Along with movie watching.
