Hi there!
My name is Luisa. I am 24 years old and lived most of my life in a small city in Colombia called Popayán. For my studies I spent several months abroad in Brasil, which was a lovely opportunity and I met a lot of kind people.
I consider myself kind and happy. Meeting new people is an opportunity I would never say no to, as I am interested in the different ways of living and cultures of people around the world.
Professionally I am dedicated to my work and love new challenges.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It is a great opportunity to meet new people and expierence different cultures first hand. Living in someones home is a real life experience, rather than staying in a hotel or hostel where most people are travelers like myself.
It is a great way to not only meet new people, but become friends with them. Opening up your home is a generosity I won´t take for granted.

Interests

I have many interests. I love spending time with my family and friends.
Moreover, I like working out, not only in the gym but also biking and running outdoors. Swimming and skating our also favorite past-time activities of mine.
I love meeting new people, traveling and experience cultural differences.

By the other hand, I want to help people and make them having a good time during their travels.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach and Share: Colombian Culture. With this I mean generosity, big breakfasts, dancing salsa, spanish language and much, much more.
