Overview
About Me
I'm an 19 graphic design student based in Colombia but I took a semester off to do a global volunteering program in Thessaloniki, Greece, so I thought might as well visit some other places before I go back to my country. I love to travel, I've been traveling by myself since I was 14 and one of my dreams was to visit Europe someday. I'm a very chill, social and outgoing person, I love to draw and film photography. I'm also very passionate about my culture and traditions so I love to show a bit of that to every person I meet.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I joined Couchsurfing because I think there's no better way to experience a culture than actually staying with a local. I love to meet people from all over the world and learning about how everything works in their country, I could never get tired of learning how cultures can be so different but yet have similarities too. I was an exchange student in Canada and England and those two experiences were so amazing and changed me in so many ways. I met so many people from all over the world and some of them I actually kept in touch with and visited. I think the interacting with new people part... the talking, the meeting, everything that couchsurfing is for... No hotel, hostel could ever compare to that

Music, Movies, and Books
I love to go to concerts on my own, I listen to pretty much everything you can imagine. It goes from Queen, Guns and Roses... The Police, to Paul Anka, Frank Sinatra... Coldplay and a lot more!
I really like euro-cinema and one of my faves is Frantz and The Zookeeper's wife both independent I believe. From the kind of latest ones La la land I loved. But my ultimate favorite is Midnight in Paris.
My grandfather is a well known writer from Colombia so I read all of his work (Eduardo Escobar), my favorite book is Pride and Prejudice.
