I'm María from Manizales, Colombia (a small and warm city). Currently working in Medellín and very happy with my new job in TechSoup, an NGO from SF that encourages nonprofits to implement technology for social causes. I'm the responsible of leading this project in Latinoamérica as partner of Microsoft. That's why I'm travelling to SF for the annual Summit where I was happily invited to go, and it would be great if I can share some experiences with local people. My first time in USA! I'd like this experience to be memorable!

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I'm pretty sure that the world is changing, good willing exists and the intercultural exchange is a great act for bulding peace!
