About Me

CURRENT MISSION

... find a sustainable world

ABOUT ME

I like riding my bicycle. In fact I ride 15km to my job every day. I love Asian movies and Latin American literature.

Currently, the focus in my work is improved my skills in bussiness and project management. Because at future I would like to develop a company to help entrepeneurs or just dreamers, of my country to develop their own projects or ideas

I like all kinds of music and I love practicing sports.

I like to eat a lot of healthy foods.

I prefer accepting English-speaking guests so I can improve my English skills.

PHILOSOPHY

Use the energy that you need!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try to receive as many guests in my home as possible.

In addition, I enjoy showing all sides of Colombia to my guests; not just the typical tourism spots.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was able to learn about the cultures and customs of those I hosted in my home. For example, I learned a lot about Okinawa, Japan with my first guest and received a lot of tips and advice for when I next travel to Asia.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I rode my bike tree times from Cartagena to Bogota (1100Km) alone. My objective was to understand the real situations of poverty in my country.

Teach, Learn, Share

I´m a project engineer with a Master Administration. In my free time, I try to teach under privileged people in my local community to help improve their small business projects. For example, I guide them on how to start, maintain, and manage a fruit juice stand or accessories stand.
