I am an open-minded person from Bogotá Colombia, I am a bit shy but I like to talk once I get comfortable with people. Common things I do are bike riding, listening music, traveling, dancing (latin music, but also things like balcan beats or electro)!, sports!

I live in Berlin sinc feb. 2018 and work here (PhD Student). I am passionate about sports (watching and doing) (running, functional cross training, acrobatics), and also about mechanical/thermal/materials engineering. But I am not crazy about neither of those things. I will not speak about that the whole time:D

I like beer, I like wine, I like urban art, I like History and Psychology, I enjoy talking about politics and social-development issues, I like trains and airplanes, I fit the stereotype of salsa-dancing-colombian guy, I like watching photos and I do photographie (see https://www.instagram.com/lalex._.avila/ and https://www.flickr.com/photos/lalexavila/)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet up, hang out, plan travels or hiking activities, practice foreign languages.
To exchange past experiences and gather new ones.
