Hi there! I'm Mateo, a friendly and adventurous individual with a passion for photography, art, and cinema. I have a deep appreciation for visual storytelling and capturing the beauty of the world through my lens. Whether it's exploring breathtaking landscapes or capturing the essence of different cultures, photography has become an integral part of my life.

I am known for being extremely friendly and approachable. I genuinely enjoy meeting new people and building meaningful connections. Whether it's striking up a conversation with a fellow traveler, collaborating on a creative project, or simply sharing a laugh, I thrive in social situations and find joy in connecting with others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am an avid traveler, always seeking new experiences and the opportunity to immerse myself in diverse cultures. I believe that travel is not only about visiting new places but also about forging connections with people from all walks of life. I thoroughly enjoy engaging with locals and learning about their traditions, customs, and perspectives. It's through these interactions that I gain a deeper understanding of the world and cultivate a sense of global unity.

Music, Movies, and Books

In my free time, you'll often find me immersed in the world of music, particularly my two passions: techno and indie. The pulsating beats of techno ignite my soul and transport me to another dimension, while the melodic and introspective nature of indie music speaks to my emotions on a profound level. As a hobby, I enjoy experimenting with mixing tracks, creating unique blends that capture the essence of both genres. Music is my escape, my creative outlet, and the driving force behind many of my most memorable moments.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Imagine soaring through the skies above the awe-inspiring Chicamocha Canyon in Colombia, feeling the wind in your face and the rush of adrenaline in your veins. It's a bird's-eye view that will leave you breathless, both from the stunning scenery and the sheer excitement of paragliding.

Teach, Learn, Share

Photography is not just a hobby for me; it's my true passion. Capturing moments, emotions, and the beauty of the world through my lens brings me immense joy and fulfillment. I believe in sharing this passion and knowledge with others, as I am always willing to teach and inspire fellow photography enthusiasts. Besides photography, I have a knack for the culinary arts. I find solace and creativity in the kitchen, where I enjoy experimenting with flavors and creating delicious meals. Cooking becomes even more enjoyable when shared with loved ones, as we embark on culinary adventures together, exploring new recipes and savoring the joy of a shared dining experience.
