The short story is that I graduated from Reed College up in Oregon with all the hipsters then I moved to Colombia. I guess I'm kind of nerdy, but pretty outgoing. I've lived here in Bogotá, Colombia for the past 6 years and just finished up my masters in International Relations. I have two cats and I live downtown, which here means I live in a beautiful and huge apartment, though in a slightly sketchy area. My life has pretty much been of moving around, I was born here in Colombia but we moved to the States when I was little and I lived in the Bronx, Jersey and finally Texas. I love languages and I'm a pretty open-minded person.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

I love reading all kinds of things, especially history and philosophy, though recently I've read a couple of children's books that I've liked. I kind of have an eclectic taste in music, I really like jazz and classical, but also hip hop and experimental electronic music. And well, I'm a movie fiend. I really like a lot of different movies, pretty much everything but slapstick comedy. I go to movie festivals whenever I get the chance.
