I My mother is French and my father is Colombian. Grew up mostly in Colombia but my culture is clearly a mix of Colombia and France. I have always been very curious and always had a weakness for chocolate and reading.
Then I discovered travelling and that is all what I wanted to do, I spent all the money I would get from student jobs travelling. I became fascinated by the richness in culture, points of view and flavors (of food) all around the world. I made many friends. After a while I also decided on a career that would allow me to be curious non-stop: Physics. I have pursued that and that is what took me to the US, to the University of Colorado. Here I met my wife who shares my same passion for discovery and that motivates me to continue to explore.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I know that what is special about each city and country is not the postcards, it is the people, the culture they carry and the food. Couch surfing seems like a great way to connect with locals, I have mostly just hang out with people that couchsurf and that host, and now I am ready to try it! :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of my favorite times in my life was to hike for three days following the great wall of China, sleeping in the ruins of the watch towers. We were not really prepared for it, but we had an amazing breathtaking time.
