Hey :)

I´m Marlon. I grew up in Bogota, Colombia. When I was 17 I moved to Germany alone in order to study my bachelor degree. Since the beginning of that, my entire life has changed. It´s been 2 incredible years and I`ve learned a lot of things. I have improved my english skills, I learned german, I`ve been in a bunch of places. It is just the best experience I've ever had.

My hobbies are photography, cooking, swimming, walking, dancing and meeting people from all around the world and traveling. I also have a blog called Travelarca.com , where I write about my experiences living in Germany and about traveling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I`m couchsurfing because I want to meet people from all around the world and share experiences. I would like to spend less money but also to have a more local experience. I hope I can make really nice friends while I go around this beautiful planet we live in.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Traveling through Europe in a budget for 1 month and a half.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach spanish (mother tongue), English, basic photography, colombian cuisine, basic German, a bit of merengue and bachata, etc.
I would like to improve my german and also learn another languages. I would like to learn to cook recipes from other countries too. I'm learning to play the piano and to draw, so if you can help me with that, i would be pretty glad.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my language habilities, my knowledge, my experiences, my help in case of need. I am someone who can listen and will always try to help. I also enjoy to show Heidelberg to new arrivals, so if you want we can meet :)
