About Me

I like to travel and to make new friends, i'm very open and I like to listen and get to know different people with different points of view. I studied political Sciences and cinema and now I also finished a Master in sociology. Now I'm just wandering around the world working on different projects and learning languages.

I grew up all my life in Bogota and I love big cities but I also have a big passion for nature and hiking. I love to travel cheaply like hitchhiking and learning with people instead of staying in a hotel with just a capitalist relationship. I love cinema, beer, learning languages and just living the daily life as positively as possible!

So that's it, I may be willing to have a nice talk at every time but I also understand silent people. If you wish to stay at my place and send a request, please avoid writing in English if your mother tongue is one of the other languages that I speak, mainly to check that you actually read profiles and not just copy/paste messages! For selecting CS hosts or guests, you can always read profiles in detail, but I also think that instinct and first impressions (message, pictures, some sentences of the profile) play a huge role!

PHILOSOPHY

I like simplicity and enjoying the little things

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've hosted many people and I mostly surf when I travel. Once you start couchsurfing it's really difficult to stop. I've had amazing experiences with CS and I've kept contact with a lot of couchsurfers who became my friends. Usually I'm always lucky with couchsurfers and I really like to have a different view of traveling, not just staying in a hotel. When you CS you get to know local people living their routine in the town and they sometimes may give you some amazing chats. There are also the ones that don't talk much but have a smile and the will to host you, which is far enough. By my side I will always be helpful when I host and if you are lucky I may also cook something as I love to cook.
